Nine months too late: After divorce by Baby Charlene

Sylvie was more nervous than she had been in a long time.

She was finally through with her contract with Kage and would be rounding up at the office with him. Now that the office work was out of the way, what was left was the agreement of living with him. She didn't know how to go about that yet, but she needed to find way to break it.
