After settled down on her favourite chair, Suki looks out of the bay window of our front reception room.
The person reading a book is my husband whom I am divorcing (I have just sworn my affidavit at a County Court the other day).
Don't ask.
It was a marriage of convenience, an experiment which ended up as a mistake.
We can start our new life separately with different partners in different places.
No hard feelings.
No kids to be mentally tortured.
It's better to be happy separately rather than making ourselves more miserable together.
