" Your completely oblivious!"

"Weather is supposed to get better by Saturday, perfect for the wedding," recited Gord.

"Hello, are you even listening to me?" huffed Sara, "sometimes I have absolutely no idea what goes through that head of yours!"

"Hmmm?"


Sara fixed the wrinkles in her dress and began to adjust her seat. Maintaining a bland expression on her face, Sara spoke, "Gord, we have been sitting on this train for three hours now, and we haven't even said 5 words to each other."

"I just have nothing to say."

"Nothing to say!" anger grew inside Sara with each reply her husband gave her. She took a long breath in a presented a question she would of hoped she would never have to ask, "What's wrong with us Gord?"

Gord put down the morning paper and faced Sara. The patch of skin under his eyes had begun to sink in over the last few months, and he had become very tiredly looking. Gord slowly took off his glasses. "There's someone else."

Sara was no where near ready for such a reply. Her eyes teared up, and for the first time in her life she had nothing to say.

"Her name is Julie," George spoke without warning.

With in that moment Sara got up from her seat and spoke the last 4 words she would ever say to her husband, " I want a divorce."
