The Price of a New Year's Eve Dinner

Summary

In the sixth year of our marriage, I calmly said to my husband:

"If you still won't let me join your family for New Year's Eve dinner this year, let's just get a divorce."

Liam froze for a moment, frowning:

"You want a divorce just over a New Year's Eve dinner?"

I rubbed the wedding ring on my finger. It was sterling silver, unbranded, and barely worth anything.

Unlike the one he gave his ex-wife—a designer diamond ring worth over ten thousand dollars, which she still wore to this day.
