What We Had Is in the Past (1)

Penelope had just finished her daily task at work, but she had taken overtime to finish a project that had been consuming her thoughts for days. As she shut down her computer and gathered her belongings, she felt a sense of relief wash over her. She could finally take some time to relax at home with her husband. She hurried out of the office building, eager to get home and unwind with Raven. However, her smile immediately disappeared when she saw a familiar person she didn't want to see. 

"Penny," Lance stepped forward as soon as he saw her. 

Penelope's expression hardened, a mix of fear and anger bubbling within her as Lance stepped forward. She hadn't forgotten Raven's warning about Rachel, a reminder of the painful past she was desperately trying to leave behind. She knew better than to get involved or to be caught in the middle of the divorce between Lance and Rachel.
