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

“Crabs?” Jason asked. “I don’t have crabs.”


“Well, not anymore,” Sophie said. “God knows we’re all glad that they’re finally gone.”


“Fine, if you want to be with him now, I’ll let you go, Jason. It couldn’t go on forever between us now that Howard’s stolen you back.”


“I didn’t steal him back,” Howard protested.


“Oh, whatever,” Sophie said, as she climbed off of Jason. “This isn’t the first man you’ve stolen from me.”


“Stolen from you? Jason was mine, and I never touched Gio,” Howard said.


“That’s not what the internet says. There’s so much video of the two of you with Gio, that I can’t even go online anymore,” Sophie said loudly, as she scanned the party to make sure people heard her.


“Okay, can you just stop with your fake news?” Howard asked as she approached him.
