My mother-in-law served me an empty plate and said my budget ran out

“It was just a dinner!”

“And my empty plate was ‘just a plate,’ right?”

Daniel went completely quiet.

I pulled a thick folder out of my desk drawer—a file I had prepared that morning with my attorney and college friend, Paula. I slid it across the glass table.

“I need you to pack your clothes and leave.”

Daniel opened the folder. His face drained of color. “Divorce?”

“Yes.”
