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

“I’m not mad, Howard,” Sophie said. “I just want you to know that I’m on to you. I now know who you are, Howard. And don’t worry, your day will come, and I will be the one to remind you to mark it on your calendar. Capisce?”


“Sophie, I really don’t want to leave things like this,” Howard said.


“Oh, we won’t. I’m coming for you, Howard. And if you’re wondering if the rumors about my family being Mafioso are accurate, well, they’re true.”


“Well, you will. And when you do, remember I told you so. So, shall we put on our game faces like we did earlier and go join our spouses?” Sophie asked.


“This is all a little twisted,” Howard said, a little shocked, a little nervous.


“Oh, I’m just getting started,” Sophie said as she closed the dishwasher.
