The day before Valentine's Day, Scarlett invited me to set off fireworks in the suburbs.
The trunk was full of fireworks she had prepared. Just as I was about to light them, she looked at her phone and said to wait a bit longer.
Finally, at 8 o'clock, she hurriedly told me to light them.
Who knew the explosive would fly directly into my eye.
A sharp pain shot through my eye, making me wince and grimace.
I cried out Scarlett's name, but when I turned my head, I found her sweetly talking on the phone.
"Nash, didn't you say you wanted to see fireworks? How do you like these ones? What, you're back now? I'll come pick you up right away!"
With that, she drove off, leaving me all alone.

I didn't shuffle my way out of her grasp, instead escorting the girl to the ambulance.

Recently, I'd heard from friends that she'd been asking about my whereabouts.


Previously, I had my lawyer send her the divorce papers, but she consistently refused to sign them.

She had lost a significant amount of weight, and her overall appearance seemed incredibly unwell.


Before, though she was slim, she always looked vibrant and healthy. Now, she resembled nothing more than a walking skeleton.
