Chapter 23

"Hey," Vincent said as he entered the apartment.

"Hey, how was work?"

"Great. Except something seemed to be missing," he said taking off his coat and putting it on the couch.

"Could that something be Laura bringing you coffee and having a nice G-rated conversation with you?"

Donna asked.

"Possibly," Vincent said, "Don't forget I told you not to rub it in so much."

"Okee-lee-doke-lee."

"Where's Adriane?"

"In the bedroom watching Sesame Street. I swear that if I hear that Count's evil laugh one more time, I will punjab the television."

"That fed up of children's programming?"

"How would you feel about watching it 24/7?"

"Not so bad."

"Yeah, this coming from the man who still watches and laughs at Bugs Bunny cartoons every Saturday morning."

"Hey, you have to admit there are some good jokes."

He then noticed that Donna had been sorting out various papers.

"Is that the mail?" Vincent asked.

"Yup. Oh, I almost forgot. This one's for you," Donna said reading a large envelope, "And it's from…San Francisco."

Vincent looked up in shock and rushed over taking the envelope.

"Oh my gosh. It can't be."

"It looks like some legal document."

"I think it is."

"What is it, Vincent?"

Vincent quickly opened the envelope and scanned the paper inside, "I can't believe it."

"What?"

"Carole is getting married."

"But isn't she still technically married to you?"

Vincent then passed the envelope to Donna. "It's divorce papers. Carole wants to go throw with finalizing a divorce."
