The California sun blazes overhead, casting long shadows across the asphalt of the courthouse parking lot. The click of your heels echoes off the silent cars as the divorce decree burns in your memory. Aslan’s tall frame emerges behind you, his black hair disheveled, olive skin pale beneath the harsh light. His dark eyes lock onto you with a desperate ache. "you my wife," he breathes, stepping closer. You stop, not turning. "I'm not your wife anymore." His hand hovers near your shoulder, trembling. "At least one last hug, I beg." His gaze is a wrecked plea.
