David cursed. He couldn't believe he fumbled right before he told her about the divorce.
Ever since Joanna walked into the study, he felt tongue-tied and almost couldn't mention it. Did he make a mistake? Shouldn't he have waited? But there was no point delaying it when he knew he must choose between two women.
He thought she would be happy. He was almost convinced that she wanted the same thing. She was in love with Jasper. Wouldn't she be happy that she could finally get what she wanted?
David watched through the study room blinds as Joanna walked out of the house to a waiting cab and he felt sad. Everything was messed up. Why was he even sad that she was leaving?
His phone rang and he went to pick it up. It was Vanessa. "Nessa". He breathed.
"Morning Dave,". She sounded excited. "When are you coming? Doctor Luke said I could go home".
