Christine was shocked. "No way?" I sighed. "Yup, that's the scoop." Wondering when I'd finally get that jerk to sign the divorce papers was like guessing when it would rain in a drought.
Christine tried to cheerup when she saw I was down in the dumps. "Don't sweat it. You know, when it comes to divorce, if one person's dead set on it, it's inevitable.
