Skr left work early that afternoon and took the subway to the Martin Group. Once she arrived, she
called Joe.
She expected him not to answer, but after a few rings, his voice came through. “What do you need?”
Skr paused for a moment before saying, “I’m downstairs at yourpany. Let’s go get dinner after you finish work.”
Joe replied decisively, “Sure.”
After hanging up, Skr stared at her phone in disbelief. She hadn’t expected Joe <i>to </i>agree so readily. The ease of the conversation left her feeling a bit dazed, a sensation that lingered until they arrived at the Wiscadian restaurant.
At the restaurant, Joe ordered her favorite dishes. While he was ordering, he suddenly said, “If you have something to say, just say it.”
Skr took a sip of water, setting her ss down as she looked up at him.”
Before she could speak, Joe fixed his sharp gaze on her and asked, “Have you really made <i>up </i>your mind about wanting a divorce?” t
Skr felt as though her throat was being constricted, making it hard to breathe. With difficulty, she managed to say, “Yes.”
“Since you’re sure, set a time for us to go to the courthouse,” Joe said, his tone firm. He showed no sign of the resistance they had during their earlier conversation about divorce.
A heavy weight settled in Skr’s chest. She replied in a low voice, “Alright, let’s do it tomorrow. We’ll meet at the courthouse at 9:00 am.”

“Is it really that urgent?” he asked, a sardonic smile ying on his lips.
Skr nodded and replied simply, “Since we’ve decided to divorce, it’s better for both of us to get the divorce decree as <i>soon </i>as possible. As for Grandma, she’s not welltely, so let’s keep this from her. I’ll make sure to visit her often.”
After their divorce, if Joe wanted to be with Vera, having Skr out of the picture would only simplify things.
“You’ve even thought about how to face Grandma after the divorce? When did you start nning this? Was it before your trip to Fachington?” Joe asked with a sarcasticugh.
Skr frowned, wanting to exin but feeling it unnecessary. If she were to mention Vi’s letter, it would only add to his concerns for her.
Alexander had received another letter from Vi that day, and the letter had advised her to leave Jipsburg City for a while, suggesting anywhere from three months to a year. It warned her not to pay attention to anything happening there. Otherwise, her nightmares would surely return.
At first, Alexander didn’t take the word “nightmares” seriously. But after this letter mentioned it again, he

questioned her about what Vi meant.
She could only say that the nightmares referred to bad things happening to her.
