The weather wasn’t great–light drizzles fell from the sky.
At exactly 9:00 AM, a black Magotan pulled up beside her.
The driver’s side window rolled down slowly, revealing Lewis‘ sharp brow line and well–defined nose in profile.
“Get in.” Lewis ordered coolly.
Doris was confused, thinking. Aren’t we here to finalize our divorce? What does it mean for him to ask me to get in? Is he not going through with it?”
“Mr. Hartman, we agreed to finalize the divorce today,” Doris reminded him of the purpose of their meeting.
“Did I agree to it?” Lewis lifted his gaze and looked at her.

Lewis had already stepped out of the car and walked up to her.
Doris looked at him. “Mr. Hartman, maybe we should discuss the divorce terms again.”
