No-Thought State

Reyona stoically went through the process of having her pictures taken.

She sat with no expression as Gibson arranged to have the firm’s photographer take her picture.

In no time, it was over.

All the details they needed to serve her husband with a divorce petition had been taken.

Gibson assured her that her husband would be wise to comply with the terms of the divorce as fast as possible.

Reyona told him to make a good case without adding the case of the hitting to it yet.

She had a feeling that Thomas might want to dispute the divorce, but she still held out a little hope that he would be sensible enough to let her go.

After all, if the case of hitting her got to court, it wouldn’t only hasten the divorce proceedings; it would even land him in jail.

Reyona did not want him in jail.

Not because she still felt any empathy for him, but because of the children that she couldn’t stop thinking about.

They were already separated from their mother because of her.
