We met with three lawyers for consultations. We both liked Caroline Parker the best. The other two were like sharks who smelled blood in the water and just wanted their piece of the chum.
Sydney King - 6:08 p.m.
This is big. How do you feel?
Reese Devereux - 6:08 p.m.
About being a child of divorce?
Sydney King - 6:08 p.m.
No one gives you credit for how funny you are.
This was good. Keep the mood light. It was obvious that Reese wanted to, and she was going to follow her lead.
Reese Devereux - 6:08 p.m.
You’re giving me credit right now.
Light flirting. Perfect.
She loved when Reese flirted with her. It was always witty and understated and made Sydney smile uncontrollably.
Still, she really did want to make sure that Reese was okay.
Sydney King - 6:09 p.m.
I mean it. I’m trying to be sensitive to what you’re going through!
Reese Devereux - 6:09 p.m.
Honestly, I’m thrilled. I know this isn’t going to be easy for my mom, but she’s already done the hardest part. And she has so much life to live. I’m glad she’s going to get to live it on her terms.
Reese Devereux - 6:09 p.m.
I feel like I’m getting a front row seat to the implosion of my father’s life. Is it wrong that I don’t feel badly about that?
Sydney King - 6:10 p.m.
Absolutely not. He’s reaping what he sowed. I, personally, love some karmic justice.
Reese Devereux - 6:10 p.m.
Perfect. Because if we don’t both enjoy the misfortune of others (when they deserve it), I don’t know how this could ever work.
Sydney only briefly considered not sending her next text.
Sydney King - 6:10 p.m.
Good. Because I really, really want this to work.
Reese Devereux - 6:10 p.m.
Me too. Okay, gotta run. We’re already late to our dinner reservation. Talk later?
Sydney King - 6:10 p.m.
Yes. Text me if your plans change.
