Leaving The Country After Divorce

Roxanne felt her heart relax at the sight of the vast ocean.

It had been some time since she had last come to the beach.

Six years ago, before their separation, she would visit the beach alone to find solace whenever Lucian hurt her feelings.

After giving birth to Archie and Benny, Roxanne would relax by spending time playing with them.

Every time she spent time playing with the children, she would eventually feel rejuvenated.

To her surprise, she felt the same way today at the sight of the endless sea before her.

“I recall you used to come to the beach frequently in the past.” Lucian’s voice echoed in her ear as he reminisced about old times. “After you left, I’d also come to the beach whenever I felt tired. It was a great feeling.”

With that, he clasped her hand and led her to the beach.

It was a weekday, so there was no one in sight.
