Countdown to My Divorce

Jim’s hand trembled as he reached out to grasp Rachel’s. His eyes were heavy with quilt.

“Rachel, it’s always been me who’s let you down. I was too weak. I thought if I focused on making things right with Yvette for a few years, helped her get balanced, then I could bring you back. But instead, I only made her more spoiled and entitled.”
