Tiernan is a fireworks designer.
When we got married, he promised to give me a grand and unique fireworks show.
But in our seven years together, his fireworks have never been for me, not even a single spark.
Yet on our wedding anniversary, he put on an all-night display for his little childhood sweetheart.
The sky blazed with flames that spoke of his love for her.
Later, he begged for forgiveness with blue fireworks lighting up the entire city.
He didn't know that I had already gone blind.
And no longer cared.

"Third, even though I'm here today to file for divorce, could you show some decency? The divorce isn't final yet, and here you are, jumping up and down like you can't wait. Have you no shame?"


Cadence glanced around nervously, then said in a trembling voice, "Tiernan, she hit me. Are you just going to stand there and watch her hit me?"


Tiernan, under Cadence's pleading gaze, slowly pried her hands away.


"Cadence, you should go. I've already made things clear to you."
