" Am really getting annoyed Mel " River spoke picking a napkin and rubbed the corner of her lips .

" You said earlier that our sessions have given you light to what you want , desire and deserve ... Am I right ? " Melody asked with a smile while Bill overlooked them .

" And I've been clear on that but I just don't get it as to why this dinner is dined " River spoke clearly being irritated.

" Well it's dined because I want to see something ...so tonight that both of you will honestly speak of how you feel toward another ,no offense I will take every word be good or bad to my grave ,are we clear "

Bill nodded but River scoffed .

" So River can you honestly spill how you feel toward Bill ,take this as a last word you'll ever say to him "

River sighed and looked at Bill with anger and hatred

" You're an asshole " groping to the fork tightly she ended right there before gulping and dazed at the vase in the middle of the table .

" Okay " Melody breathed before turning to Bill , " you can have the table Mr. Norman "

Bill stopped a bit placing his fork on the table declaring he was done eating before gulping down seeking his courage then started to pour out his heart .

" I'm sorry ...and that's not enough to mend what I've done to you ,I've been an asshole for so long and I'd make up that with my life , you're ,have been and always been the most important person in my life and I do cherish you but I've wronged you ,that I know and there's no excuse to make that lighter ,I've lost a fortune and I regret my acts and I know it'll be difficult for you to trust me but I promise to pay whatever I've done with my life and all I can ask for is a last chance "

" Well that's not yo happen I want a divorce Bill " River interjected

" I know and I will if that will make you happy but I won't give up on you ,on us even if it will take me steps back to the beginning ,am willing to build it up again from the start collecting the pieces I've shattered while assuring you that they'll never cut you open ever again , I failed to do so because I was stupid and a fool but I've learned a lesson and I will take the rest you give me because I need to learn and understand and even if it's hard to prove right now but I do ....I do understand it all ,the pain and my mistakes ,what I should do and what I shouldn't ,I understand "

" Good then submit the divorce papers early in the morning tomorrow "

River shouted getting out of control and Melody then interjected.

" That's good both of you but I can say it wasn't a good dinner and so ....this marks the end of our session River "

" But as ts not up to date yet " River eyed her slowly .

" I thought you've made your decision very clear and all I was to is help you see your shorts and your potential which you all have seen ,and I believe I helped you reach that point and so I've done my work but can I say something as a friend  if you permit "

River nods

" My grandma once told me that a fortune can be well hidden even before our eyes that we might make mistakes with it and lose it forever , she'd say that even fortunes make mistakes so be careful of what you throw out in your bin , it makes ght be the hidden treasure instead " Mel smiled just as River nods again .

" Am so  sorry for the inconveniences that have happened during this dinner but I've seen what I wanted and here's for both of you , you see everyone makes mistake and so do you and forgiving is a choice laid on the feets for someone to pick and give and leaving it to dismay can be a mistake too ."

Mel hums slowly as she probably cked up the glass of wine on the table and took a sip .

" Also foolishness can be costful but that doesn't mean one can't take his way up from it , being a failure is a step to learning but ignoring is the last step to go beyond being a fool , mistakes are bound to happen and they can be very painful and maddening but they're to teach and shape us to something else .....so I would recommend you two to think as adults and see where each one of you wants to stay because if I'd be asked honestly I don't think divorce is a right path to go down for both of you , River you should step back and find a light not a spark and Bill you should step back and bright your beloved life and not sparkle it before you invite darkness "

With all da d silence took place for a while .

" Then I should be going then ,thank you for your time " Melody spoke before gathering her belongings and slowly walked out .

River sighed leaning back closing her eyes slowly .

" I still want a divorce Bill , as she'd say a lot and it was good but I don't see myself with you anywhere beyond that betrayal ....

" I will submit the divorce River ......but I have a favour to ask for if you wouldn't mind "

River licked her lips slowly then nodded .

" Can I have a day with you ,if you won't mind ? "

" I am a busy woman you know that ,and a day with you ...do you want me dead from suffocating ? "

Bill smiled at that

" No but there's something I wanted to show you even before everything and I still wish I can get a chance to do so even after divorce I would take it "

River sighs ,picks up her purse and nods to him then walked out of the hotel .
