Three weeks had passed since Valerie had signed the divorce papers. Officially, she was now a free woman. John had been sad when he learned his parents were separating. At almost six years old, he didn’t fully understand what a separation meant. In his mind, it was something like what Ethan was experiencing his grandfather now lived in another country but still visited him every weekend without fail. John believed that separations worked the same way, just like Ethan’s grandfather had said: when the school term ends, they’ll all be together again.

Valerie had to summon strength from places she didn’t know existed to stay calm. She did it mostly for her children. Since the day she signed the papers in front of Marcus, they hadn’t spoken.

Dad, I’m trying to take care of John, but this is too much for me. I’m trying to handle your separation maturely, but don’t think it’s easy for me either. I thought the divorce was just a step- way for you both to think things through.

I’m so sorry you’ve been dragged into this. This is something your mom and I shouldn’t have taken lightly, especially because of you and your

Please… I need that.” Marcus got up and hugged his daughter: As he held her, he was reminded of the hugs he used to give her when she was just a little toddler, barely three years old. Valerie had never seen it, but he used to melt every time Serenity toddled around his office. Many times, she ruined important papers, spilled milk or julce on documents, and he
