Divorce Has Never Felt This Good

Lowell suddenly realized what Rory was getting at and immediately recited, “How ridiculous that Becky loved you for more than ten years! She must be crazy! She must be crazy to have loved you! Did she do anything wrong? Since junior high school, she…”

Jessie’s words had shocked Lowell, too. According to what he knew, Becky and Rory had met on a night five years ago. Rory had done a thorough investigation. Becky hadn’t been the one to set the trap for Rory, and she hadn’t been waiting for Rory either.
