Chapter 1No Old Love on the Other Side

Wyatt’s little canary was throwing a tantrum again.

He slid the divorce papers across the table to me. “Sign them. It’s just for show, to keep the girl happy.”

My fingers tightened on the fabric of my skirt, but I nodded, quietly signing my name.

As I was leaving, I heard one of his friends laugh. “Man, your wife is way too agreeable. You could probably ask her to get the marriage license for you and your new girl, and she wouldn’t make a peep.”

Wyatt lit a cigarette, a smirk in his voice. “Wanna bet?”

They made a wager. That in one month, at City Hall, I would be sobbing my eyes out, but I would still do as I was told. I would trade our marriage certificate for a decree of divorce.

I clutched my phone, saying nothing. I just replied to the message that had just come in:

Just marry me. Can’t you?

“I can.”
