It had been a week since Chloe got her divorce paper.
Things went normal after the big event, though she could see that her face had been quite well-known on the internet and TV. People saw her as a strong woman who went through a lot to finally break free from the cage that her abusive husband created.
She wasn't sure about the strong woman part because she felt she hadn't done anything big except stand up for herself, but she still felt good when someone acknowledged her struggle.
"Mommy, what are you thinking?" Mackie asked as they had breakfast as two.
"Hm? Nothing?" Chloe smiled at her daughter. "Why don't you finish your breakfast, dear? You don't like it?"
"I like it, Mommy! It's just… I miss Daddy…" Mackie lowered her head, playing with her scrambled egg with a spoon. "I haven't seen him in a while."
Chloe patted Mackie's head and said, "Don't sulk like that, Mackie. You know that he is working hard for us."
