el divorcio [ wamien ]

Monica: Has anyone seen you?

Will: No, no one saw me, I promise.

Monica: You better hope not, because this was supposed to be a secret. Only one person is supposed to know about this before anyone else.

Will: Two, Will says, blushing slightly and avoiding Monica's gaze, who also can't look him in the eye.

Monica: Huh? What do you mean two? Only Dorian, right? Well, whatever, let's go.

Will: Yeah, let's go.

Monica: Uh... wait, Will. Monica grabs Will's arm, pulling him closer to her.

Monica: I wanted to ask... what are you going to do now? Will you meet someone? Have you already met someone? I hope that my thing with Dorian isn't uncomfortable for you, considering that you're... eh, forget it, okay? Sorry, let's just go.

Will: Wait! Will grabs her arm too, pulling her closer.

Will: I... I... I wanted to ask how you manage to get up every morning. I can barely do it.

Monica: Huh?

Will: With those enormous horns you must have... Will is super nervous and doesn't know how to tell Monica that he's already seeing someone... HIS PERSONAL ADVISOR AND BEST FRIEND!! No less.

Monica: Ahhh, wait, you've met someone?! That's great! I'm so happy for you!

Will: Not exactly "met," but yeah.

Monica: And how long have you... known each other?

Will: Uh... it's been... I think it'll be 18 years this year... right? Haha.

Monica: 18 years? What? That doesn't make sense; you don't even know me that long, the only person you've known for 18 years is... NO! I DON'T BELIEVE IT! IT'S HIM?! IT IS?! That's so much information! Monica says as she hugs Will, and they both sit on the ground, leaning against the wall outside the courthouse. Will looks at the ground, blushing, while Monica is both confused and delighted.

Will: Yeah, well, it's funny that for being the SELF-PROCLAIMED LOVE EXPERT, you didn't realize it. I thought it was obvious.

Monica: Yeah, well... it is obvious, but... Monica suddenly remembers when she saw her best friend kissing his then-fiancé and now understands everything [for those who don't know, we're referring to the scene in Book 2 where Damien kisses Will under the spell in the cave].

Monica: Well, yours is more dangerous than my thing with Dorian, so thanks, I guess.

Will: Shut up, silly. Once we're done here, I want to tell him, but I don't know how...

Monica: Relax, just do something that's special for the two of you. For me, I want to take Dorian to the cliff where we had our first kiss at sunset, you know? Don't you have a special spot? Like where you shared your first kiss... a real kiss, I mean, or something like...

Will: I know where. Thank you, Monica.

Monica: Oh yeah? Where?

Will: Oh, I'm not telling you. You're about to be my ex-wife.

Monica: But I helped you figure it out, so at least tell me how I helped.

Will: Fine, I want to take him to where I first met him when we were little, in the woods. It's a beautiful spot.
