She must be seeing a lawyer...what now?

[Awoken]

Well, I'm feeling better enough that I dragged myself to work today. Several of my clients noticed my ring was missing from my hand. I always talk a lot about my wife and kids, and they were very surprised that we could D. On top of that I look pretty terrible with my bloodshot eyes from the infection. The doc says I'm not contagious, but I look like I've been crying for a week straight.

I don't know if it's just being sick, but I felt something today I haven't felt exactly in a while. I really miss my wife. No specific anger or desperate panic, just heartbroken longing. I miss being able to call her in the middle of the day, seeing her first thing when I get home from work, talking about the kids with her, just being in the same room with her. She's out of town for two days right now so that makes these thoughts easier.
If I was confronted with her icy stares, and the facts of her planned destruction of my role in the family, I would feel different.

Of course, when I think about it I realize that the woman I miss is likely gone forever. It makes it harder when I now doubt my memories of good times over the past 18 years.
