Chapter 29
Mistakes might’ve been made
Nick
There sat the manila envelope with a red bow on it that had been delivered from my lawyer. Apparently, an early present from Santa himself.
I picked up the letter opener on my desk and took one sharp slice through it, exposing the papers that would make me a single man again.
And Candy, a single woman.
At the prospect, anger tore through me. A loud thunder ricocheted from my chest. Even Rudolph with his shiny red nose that glowed like a bulb on our tree wouldn’t be able to see his way through the inevitable storm that would come knowing Candy was single again.
A quick scan of the pages, and I knew they were all there. Everything I had talked about with Mel. Too bad that didn’t mean anything to me.
Mistakes might’ve been made, but I was a big enough man to acknowledge that and remedy them.
One twist of my wrist and the loud rip that ensued echoed through my office.
It felt damn good to be rid of the papers and everything they represented.
