Jason lives a comfortable life. His business is successful. Both his children have wonderful futures ahead, and people think he’s pretty neat. There is just one thing Jason wishes he could get rid of -- his ex. When they meet for coffee, however, Jason realizes that after ten years, he wants Howard back. Luckily, Jason has a plan. For Howard, his life is as good as it gets. He’s raised two great children, and helped his ex build a business that provides Howard palimony. Unfortunately, his ex is also the ultimate Zen-wrecker, and no amount of deep breathing can get him out of Howard’s head. When Jason shows up broke and with a hair-brained scheme to get Howard back in his life, under the guise of celebrating the tenth anniversary of their divorce, Howard isn’t sure if he’s being insulted or wooed. But he reluctantly agrees to go back to work at the company, and to allow Jason to move back home. Can ten years heal old wounds? Have Jason and Howard ever stopped loving each other, or should they call it a day and just celebrate their “divorce-ary?” And in the end, who will be the real trickster -- Jason, Howard, or that marvel we call love?

The Divorceary

Howard pulled some pajamas pants and a T-shirt on, and then threw a robe over that. He turned to look at Jason’s beautiful nude body, and then grabbed a pair of pajamas and threw them at him.


“I hope they don’t figure this out,” Howard said, hurrying down the stairs.


“Don’t they have keys?” Jason asked, dressing as he rushed behind Howard.


“They both left them here. Jane was scared she’d lose them in some faraway place, and James said he has to carry too many already and that I’m here all the time anyway,” Howard said as he entered the foyer.


Howard messed with his hair for just a second, and then he opened the door. “We’re so glad you’re here,” he said, reaching for both of them at once.
