The Divorce Prescription

Adam sent another message. "Celine, I have so much to say to you. If you don't want to see me, I'll stay here until you do."

He had come up as quickly as possible, his face filled with urgency. "Celine, you finally agreed to see me. I knew you would."

Celine stepped aside. "Come in."

Adam walked inside.

They stood in the living room, facing each other.
