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 turned. This is why he never talked about people. He always got caught. He put on his biggest smile as he saw Sophie fix her face as well on the other side of the glass.


“Are you two coming in?” she asked, her smile pushed as far up on her face as he imagined a smile could go.


“Of course, we are,” Howard said, slowly opening the passenger side door.


He turned back to look at Jason, and they both said the same thing with their eyes. We fucked up.


Gio was on the driver’s side of the car, opening the door for Jason. As Howard climbed out, Sophie gave him a welcome hug. Her body was stiff. She had heard.


“Sophie, I…” Howard began, but she cut him off quickly.


“You’re hungry,” Sophie said. “You are absolutely famished, right? I can tell that’s what you’re going to say to me because I’ve been cooking all day. Gio and I have been über excited about having you two to dinner, and I’ve been working on it all day, so I just know that you’re going to eat a lot.”
