Divorcing Him When He Comes Back to Life

Summary

In our most loving year, Hugh Thorne and I make a pact that neither of us will ever ask for a divorce—because whoever does will end his or her own life.

I immediately grab a pair of scissors and stab him in the neck when he first tells me that he wants to give Beatrice Lane, my heartbroken best friend, a home.

He repeatedly brings up divorce over the next two years, while I repeatedly refuse to let him go.

Then, after his 99th attempt to get a divorce fails, Hugh jumps into the river.
