The Thirty-Day Wait

Summary

The day we filed for divorce, Evan brought his stepsister with him.

I didn’t argue with him like I usually would have. I was silent through the whole process—handing over documents, signing my name on the line.

As I was leaving, I heard him comforting her.

"Alana, don't blame yourself. She won't actually go through with it. I've let her get away with too much these last few years. This will be good for her. A little time to cool off, get some perspective. Otherwise, you and Leo will never have any peace here."
