I felt much better when I returned to Jane's cozy, rented apartment. Without Clyde's presence, everything just seemed right.

Jade was all over the place, ordering pizza, slicing some apples, and ensuring I was eating well and staying healthy.

But when she was about to run out to get some fancy truffles, I quickly stopped her. "Let's not waste money on truffles. Eggs will do just fine. Truffles don't taste that good."

"Are you saying my cooking sucks?" She squinted her eyes at me dangerously, but I bravely nodded.

She pouted, "Look who's talking. Let's agree that neither of us will win a cooking show, okay?"

I laughed genuinely, feeling light-hearted.

Then I turned stern. “Jade, I need you to find me a divorce lawyer.”

Jade stared at me before she spoke, "Are you sure you won't tell him the truth? He'd regret it if he knew."

I shook my head firmly, not wanting to say. The breakup was ugly. I didn't want him to find me or feel guilty. Now that we lost even the initial affection for each other, why bother?

"Melanie, if you guys divorce now, and he finds out the truth later, he'll be devastated." Jade knew all about the love and hate between Clyde and me and thought I was being too harsh on myself.
