Last night, I heard my husband giving my PIN to his mother while I was asleep: ‘Take it all out, there’s over a hundred and twenty thousand dollars on it.’ I just smiled and went back to sleep. Forty minutes later, his phone buzzed with a text from his mom: “Son, she knew everything. Something’s happening to me…” Then the phone suddenly went dead.

It was Shauna.

Kiana pressed the green button.

“Hello, Kiki. Why are you silent? What happened yesterday? You texted that everything worked out and then you disappeared.”

Kiana smiled.

“Sorry. I didn’t have the energy to explain.”

“Well, explain now. I’m going crazy with curiosity.”

Kiana sighed and began telling the story briefly, without unnecessary detail.

Shauna listened silently, occasionally gasping.

When Kiana finished, her friend exhaled slowly.

“Well, I’ll be… both the mother and the son. But now it doesn’t matter. The main thing is that it’s over.”

“It’s over.”

“All right, Kiki, are you filing for divorce?”

“Of course. I’ll go to the county clerk’s office next week to find out what I need.”

“And he won’t fight it?”

Kiana shook her head, although Shauna couldn’t see her.
