about divorce calmly. “I'm not overthinking it,” | said coolly.
Jared stared at me. He must be shocked that | did not cry or blhim.
After all, before | “cback,” | cried at least three times in two months. Each time, | begged for his care and
kindness, like a fish out of water without his love.

“What problems?” Jared asked, his voice getting harsher.
| paused for a few seconds. “Our life is boring, like plain water. I'm not a great mom and don’t have a real career.
