Kiss And Make-Up
“Due to a mix-up in the attorney’s office, your divorce papers were never filed. You are still legally married.”
Cassandra Devane never drank during the day, and certainly never in front of her elderly grandmother. But after the woman’s announcement sank into her brain, her instinctive reaction was to get up from the sofa, walk over to the bar in her office, and pour herself a scotch on the rocks. Because of the way her hand shook, it ended up being a double. Or maybe that was just because her world was shaking.
She gulped the drink, counted to ten, drew deep calming breaths. Eventually, she felt calm enough to turn and face the matriarch of the family. “That can’t be right.”
“I’m afraid it is.” Ellen sipped her tea. “It appears everything was done quickly and quietly, and mistakes were made.”
Cassandra took her seat across from the frail-looking woman. “I didn’t even know you were aware of my…folly.”
“I wasn’t, until recently.” Her expression disappointed, the elderly woman continued.
