EDEN ABRELL
ONE WEEK LATER
"So how does this whole process work?" I asked as I braided my hair.
"Well for starters, I've already combed through all of our assets and sorted through what's mine and what's hers. I've taken a list of things that I want and the things I need, and I've already created a new bank account so I can 'move all my assets in there." Huxley's voice rang through my speaker.
I hummed as I weaved strands of my hair together. "And what do you do next?"
"Madeline and I are going to sit down and talk and I'm going to tell her I want a divorce. I'm going to tell her I don't want to be with her anymore and that I literally never have. Then I'm going to give her the divorce papers." His voice was calm as he spoke.
"How do you think she's going to take it?" I asked softly.
He sighed. "I think she's going to be upset at first. She might even try to talk me out of it, but then she'll realise this was a long time coming. We were never supposed to be together."
I bit my lip, hesitating to ask. "And do you think she will talk you out of it?"
"No, stunning. No one could talk me out of getting this divorce. I waited for Gracie and she's an adult now. That means I can start putting myself first by getting this divorce which does happen to come with the supreme benefit of being with you." He said and I could practically see the soft, reassuring smile he was sporting.
I smiled and played with my hair. I sighed and dropped my momentary happiness, "How long does a divorce last?"
"At least, anywhere from six weeks to twelve months. At most, it can take years." He sighed after the words left his mouth.
"Years?" My eyes widened. I paused and hung my head in my hands as I spoke, "That's- that's a long time Huxley."
"I know, Eden. But we can make it work." He was so sure and so determined that I believed him. He sighed in content, "Eden, I didn't think it was possible to love someone in this way and this much until I fell in love with you. I am the luckiest man in the world to have you by my side."
I smiled and laughed, my cheeks widening so much they began to hurt. "How am I supposed to top that?" I said, my voice thick with emotion. "I'm so utterly, irrevocably in love with you, Huxley. I miss you so much. I just want to be with you. You're all I see and you're all I want. You make me feel like the most special woman to ever live. I'm so lucky."
"I miss you more, stunning. I'm going to get off work early so I can stop by and see you."
