“Because your husband turned into a piece of shit.”

After a long coffee break,Sy finally asked us back into the room.
“My client is going to drop the charges against Mrs. Reynolds. We will start working on divorce paperwork.” Sy and Harry were cloaked in defeat.
“The papers were filed as of twelve o’clock today. You should have them waiting for you at your office. I look forward to negotiating terms with you.” I stood and reached my hand out to shake Sy’s calloused palm.
After the men exited the office with heads hanging, I cheered with Dahlia in my office.
“I’m sorry I got mad at you. You were great in there.” She took a seat across from me.
“We will try for full custody and for the house. Are there any other major assets you want to retain?”
She shook her head. “I just want this to be over with.”
“We will move as quickly as possible. Just know, even though we won the battle, we still have to be victorious in the war. Sy is a scummy person but a damn good lawyer, and he will find another ace in the deck.”
“I have complete faith in you.”
