"Whatever, just call him and get him to sign the papers. It's not that hard," Kitty adds before taking another sip. Miya is going to have to drive her home for sure. "That's the thing, Kitty...I did. He won't sign the papers," Miya says. Kitty's jaw drops open, clutching the bottle to her chest like a baby. "That good for nothing bastard!" Her head is spinning a little but she is not sure if it's from the wine or from finally entering into a conversation about Austin. It's been five years since she has allowed herself to even think about that miserable asshole. "He said, and I quote..." Miya says and watches Kitty carefully, "you tell my wife that if she wants a divorce, she needs to come over with the papers herself." Dickery...absolute dickery. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Kitty married Austin on a whim - silly teenage love. He had promised her the world, literally. Then he disappeared along with every ounce of her dignity. It's taken all of five years to piece of herself together, but she has and it's been a bitch of a time. Now she has found someone who is man enough to give her the life Austin ran away from. The only problem is she is still married to Austin - nothing that a simple signature can't fix. Austin, however, has now decided he wants to talk, but it's five years too late and Kitty can't think of anything she wants less. So while Austin tries his hand at finally talking to her, Kitty blows up his truck, buys an elephant and gets well acquainted with the police department in an attempt to get her point across - she does not want to talk, she only wants his signature on those dam divorce papers.
