I Can Move Mountains, Yet Not Reach You

Summary

When I found out about Kelly’s affair, we were both surprisingly calm.

She shielded the young man behind her, her voice a flat monotone. “Don’t blame him. It was all me. I couldn’t control myself. He’s innocent.”

I nodded, feigning understanding.

“I’ve made concessions financially. Take a look. If there are no issues, just sign.”

I tossed the papers into the trash. “Don’t worry,” I said, my tone magnanimous. “I’m not going to make a scene and demand a divorce over something so trivial.”
