Her flight to the UK was scheduled for 4:00 PM.
At noon, Chloe Thompson received the final divorce decree from the court. From this moment on, she was completely and utterly free.
[Let’s meet. 1 PM. Coffee shop downstairs from the company.]
It was a text from Liam Walker.
Chloe thought about it and decided to go.
She arrived at the coffee shop early, carrying her luggage and holding the divorce papers.
She waited from 1:00 PM, then 1:30 PM, then 2:00 PM.
Liam, who had initiated the meeting, was a no–show.
She sent him several messages, but they vanished into the void.
Finally, a brief, a word reply came.
[Busy.]
“Hello, is this Ms. Thompson?”
“I’m Mr. Walker’s assistant. He asked me to inform you that something urgent came up, and he

Chloe immediately stopped her wandering thoughts.
“Ms. Thompson, are you still there?” His assistant’s voice continued from the phone.
Chloe decisively pressed the red end–call button, settled her bill, and walked out quickly.
She walked straight up to Liam and Isabella’s table and slammed the divorce papers she had been clutching onto the table between them. The impact sent juice and coffee splashing, some of it landing on Isabella’s clothes.
Liam immediately grabbed Chloe’s right hand.
He didn’t even glance at the documents.
After a pause of several seconds, as if realizing there was no point in fighting with the stubborn Chloe, Liam walked to the other side of the table and carefully used a napkin to wipe Isabella’s
dress.
“Are you okay, Isabella?”
Chloe stood quietly for a moment, then hailed a cab to the airport.
“Passengers for the London, please proceed to Gate T1 for check–in.“.
[Chloe Thompson, I believe you owe Isabella an apology.]
A new message from Liam came in.
Without a moment’s hesitation, Chloe tapped to block and delete him.
She handed her ID, passport, and visa documents to the security officer.

The air conditioning on the plane was intense. Chloe asked a flight attendant for a complimentary wool blanket and wrapped it tightly around herself.
She fell into a deep sleep, not even hearing the announcement for takeoff.
Only one thought echoed in her heart.
“Goodbye, Liam Walker.
