Sweet Divorce

Rita laughed, pushing him away. “No, it’s not the right time!” She had had her heart broken a few times. It didn’t recover so quickly. She just needed some time to settle into her new role, his girlfriend.

Liam released his hand, looking faintly disappointed, but he understood it. He had done lots of things wrong and said some very hurtful things. He needed time to prove his love for Rita.

Liam put his arms around Rita’s waist and said gently, “Are you hungry?”

Rita nodded, blushing furiously. Liam seemed in a splendid mood. The chilly relationship between them had finally improved. He played with Rita’s hair and said, “What do you want to eat?”

“Can we have pizza?” Rita said.

“Pizza sounds great,” Liam replied gently. Then he turned to Jacob and winked at him.

Jacob stared at Liam and his eyes popped in surprise. Didn’t Liam hate pizza?

Rita took good care of Liam in the hospital in the next couple of days. And soon, Liam was discharged.

When Jacob went to sign the discharge papers for Liam, Liam and Rita were waiting for the elevator.
