PLEASE DO NOT HATE ME FOR THIS.
Jane sat her desk. The past few weeks had been overwhelming. So many clients. Then there was Parker leaving and there being a new partner. Stupid Kim for not giving it to her. But she would have to keep working even harder to make partner. And yet all she wanted to do was sleep for weeks. Maybe then she could have some more energy. She really did need to be more health oriented.
"Jane" someone said behind her.
She turned her chair to look straight into a face that had become so familiar to her. That crocked smile always made her heart leap. But she knew it was way more than wrong. "Grayson, uh what are you doing here?"
"I am assuming that it is the same reason you are. That Owen is sure riding my butt and loading me with cases."
"But you have been gone for a week. And you came straight here?"
"Yah." He said with a small sigh.
"Deb stayed back in Hawaii. Apparently our vacation was too short for her."
"Oh why do I get the feeling you lied to me about a huge case load."
"Cause I have no cases."
Jane shoved a pile of cases towards him. "Want to help me out a little friend?"
"Sounds like fun. Want me to order some food?"
"I already did. I was planning on an all nighter. You sure Deb will not mind?"
"I do not think she would all the way from there."
"Vacations…" he said with a sad grimace.
"What happened?"
"I love her. That is not the problem. I honestly do not know if was ever enough. We were happy but I think we were both acting a little. She wants to be a model and that is it. And I support her but it is not going anywhere. And she wont let it go. i just wish she a little aspiration."
"Have you talked to her?"
"Yah…"
"And?"
"That she has to focus. That to get the break she needs she needs to be a little of a free spirit. All I want to do is settle down with a family." He shook his head. "all we have done lately is fight. I planned this vacation. We meant to spend time together there but she found a shoot then another. I want to fix it but I do not know how."
"Grayson, how bout we play hooky from tonight? Lets go get a drink. I think we could both use one."
"You sure? What about partner?"
"Ehh. It is just one night. Sides the case loads will still be here in the morning."
Soon after they got to the bar his phone started ring. Grayson kept ignoring it and glancing at Jane.
"For heavens sake boy I assume it is your wife. Go answer it."
He picked it up and left the room. When he came back jane wished she hadn't told him to answer it. He looked hurt and numb.
"She is staying down there. I don't think she is coming back."
"She might."
"She told me she was a great lawyer and asked her if I could look over the papers."
"Oh Grayson, she is just so young and caught up in it all."
He shook his head at her. "Lets get that drink now."
Jane spent the night trying to console at hurt Grayson. She took back a few drink. After a while she lost count.
The night went black.
