The next morning, Jeremy and Kat went out for another ride but it was nothing like the previous one they had last night. If last night's ride had them both feeling lightened up, that morning there was an undeniable heaviness that was weighing both Jeremy and Kat down. The week is almost over, and they were on their way to file for a divorce decree. Neither spoke much during the ride.
------------------------
After acquiring the divorce papers, Jeremy and Kat drove back to the cottage. Now all they needed to do was to sign up those papers and they're back to being single again. But the papers don't have their signatures yet and they still have one more day as husband and wife.
When they reached the cottage, both felt all the more down spirited but were afraid to admit it out loud.
Kat was surprise to see a dress box lying on the living room table. There was a note on the box that says:
To my lady,
None but the fairest can wear it. Cast in on tonight and make the moon envious.
Jeremy
Kat opened the surprise present and was delighted to see a lovely turquoise Gucci cocktail dress.
"Wow! Jeremy, this is beautiful." Kat said holding up the dress in admiration. "Isn't this ironic? We just got divorce our papers and now you're cooking up surprises for me."
"We still have a day more, it ain't over yet," Jeremy said. "Some consequence yet hanging in the stars!"
"Ay me," Kat mumbled.
"But for now I'm afraid I must be gone," Jeremy said apologetically.
"Wherefore?" Kat asked.
"To make this last day the face of heaven so fine that you'll pay no worship to yesterday's wounds. Prepare thyself while I'm gone."
"What o'clock shall I be ready then?" Kat asked.
"By the hour of 6! Farewell for now."
"Farewell!" Kat said bidding Jeremy goodbye. "I hope fortune wilt not keep thee long."
"I doubt it not. Adieu!" Jeremy said before turning away.
When Jeremy was out Kat couldn't help sighing, "Parting is such a sweet sorrow."
Meanwhile, Jeremy on his way to the car was also murmuring to himself, "Love goes toward love as schoolboys from their books but love from love, toward school with heavy looks."
