Divorce Has Never Felt This Good

The commotion behind the door subsided. Rory stared at his empty glass and was lost in thought. After what seemed like an eternity, he finally reached for the decanter next to him, poured a glass of wine, and drank it all in one go.

The words Becky told him at noon were much louder than the smack itself. He could recall her exact words to him even now.

“You make me sick!”

“People make mistakes when they are young. I was young back then, so I did, too. I did love you, yes, but that doesn’t mean I still do.”

His presence, she said, made her feel sick.

Just how absurd! She loved him deeply. How could he make her feel sick?

Wasn’t she in love with him?

She wanted to show him how much she appreciated him by drawing his sketch for his birthday.

Rory was perplexed as to why the woman who had previously loved him so much would now feel sick of him.

Was it because he exposed her love for him and that made her ashamed and angry?

Maybe it was because her feelings for him were insufficient.
