Chapter 70

Eron lifted Garrett’s hand to his mouth and gave it a smooch. “What’s brought this on again?”

Garrett rolled his neck. “Dad got divorce papers in the mail. He left them out on the counter.”

Eron’s confidence in his ability to comfort Garrett melted away. He looked out at the bay and rubbed the back of his neck. “I know.”

“You know?” Garrett repeated.

“Yeah, he told me, but he didn’t want you to feel guilty again.”

Garrett shrugged. “I suppose so. I guess I don’t understand that after ten years, why she has to do it. Why can’t they just be married on paper and be done with it?”

“Maybe she’s met someone.” Eron took a drink.

“Do you know anything?”

“Well, of course not, who would I talk to?”

“True.”
