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 has often told me about your culinary skills, and although I hope you’ll invite Gene and I for one of your fabulous breakfasts, I’ve heard that dinner was not your thing. I saw what was in your basket and realized how ambitious it was. I thought I better check on you. That’s also why I made a casserole. If your meal had turned out well, you could always freeze it and save it for another night.”


“You are a very wise woman,” Jason said.


“And a little protective of the people I care for,” Marjorie said. “I know you’re up to something, Jason. I just get a feeling that it might not be a bad thing. Make sure you don’t hurt him. Last time, Gene wouldn’t let me take a side, but know that if anything happens this time, I will, and you won’t like the side I take, Jason.”


“Don’t worry, Marjorie. The last thing I want to do is hurt him, and after seeing what you can do to a house, I would never put myself in a position to see what you could do to me.”
