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

“But you get what I mean,” Howard said with a smile. “Once I get these sales and we get them set up with cleaners I have trained, then you can use me elsewhere. Where else do you think you need me?”


“Well, I haven’t quite figured that out,” Jason said.


“Which is exactly why I should continue working on these sales that got away. When you figure out where else you need my help, let me know. Until then, let’s just plan on me doing my job, and you doing yours, sir,” Howard said. “And by the way you’ve done an outstanding job with breakfast. Do you think you could pass me one of those to-go containers in the drawer behind the microwave? I want to get an early start and go over a few things before I meet the client. Wait, why aren’t you eating?”


“I’m not too hungry right now,” Jason said. “I’ll eat later.”


“Well, then, let’s pack something for you too,” Howard said. “This breakfast is too good to miss out on.”
