Chapter 13 - THE DIVORCE TABLE
Megan met Andrew at the dining room table where they had celebrated anniversaries, birthdays, Christmas mornings, and Ella’s first day of school.
This time, divorce papers sat between them.
Andrew stared at them.
“You’ve already decided.”
“Yes.”
“Megan, please.”
“No.”
He looked destroyed.
A small part of her hated that she still noticed.
“I love you.”
She shook her head.
“You loved having me.”
Andrew flinched.
“You loved Rachel when you were with Rachel. You loved me when you were with me. You loved Noah when you were with Noah. You loved Ella when you were with Ella.”
She leaned forward.
“But love without truth becomes possession.”
Andrew had no answer.
Megan slid the papers toward him.
“This marriage didn’t end when I found out.”
She paused.
“It ended the first time you realized honesty might cost you something and chose lying instead.”

Andrew closed his eyes.
Then, finally, he signed.
