What was this?
'A legendary good Samaritan?'
Annabelle Linton walked over to the clerk, overcome with a wave of emotion.
This clerk was clearly a person of strong character, probably someone who'd been hurt in love before. She kept it hidden, however, and was the very model of professionalism at her job.
Leona Grant was utterly thunderstruck. He never would have imagined something like this could happen.
It wasn't until the clerk struck Annabelle Linton's name from his official records that it finally dawned on him: this was all real.
His heart instantly felt hollow. He and Annabelle Linton were really and truly divorced.
Completely. Irrevocably.
She had nothing to do with him anymore. In the future, she would marry another man, have his children, sleep with him, and live happily ever after. From now on, they were nothing more than strangers.
He used to think about divorce constantly, but he never expected it to feel like this when it actually happened.
"THUD—"
