About this ebook
Antoine and Wally have been best friends since college. They do everything together—work, play, relax, live. Minus the blight that is Wally's wife, and the unhappiness she brings him, their lives are grand.
But then Wally files for divorce, and his wife drops a bombshell he never expected, and Antoine realizes that the life he'd always imagined with the best friend he's always secretly loved has been taken away from him a second time.

Divorce?
Kathleen repeated, then laughed. Don't be stupid, Wallace.
Wallace. He remembered, once upon a time and far away, he'd thought it special the way she used his full name and never abbreviated it. He'd thought it meant something special. What he'd learned too late was that she hated nicknames, considered them vulgar and low class. She'd never allowed him to call her Kathy, or Katie, or even sweetheart. She'd never once called him Wally.
I've been stupid for the past fifteen years, Kathleen. You've done nothing but lie to me, use me, and abuse me since we met. There's nothing about this marriage worth saving, so I'm ending it. You can go along easily, or I'll take you to court and drag you through the mud.
She laughed again and sipped at her morning bloody Mary, perfect platinum hair falling perfectly over one perfect shoulder. He hated that word, perfect. It described her perfectly, and she'd never tired of telling him it was the one thing he would never be.
You'll get the papers today,
he continued. I expect you to be out of this house, and your belongings out of the cabin and beach house, by the end of the year. I'm leaving you the penthouse.
In reply, she only kept laughing. Her voice was frigid, however, when she replied, Why bother moving my stuff? I'll take them in the divorce and we both know it, Wallace.
Once, he would have had to acknowledge she was right. Kathleen was evil and vindictive when she wanted something. Easier to put up with her, and keep the peace, than challenge her and only suffer for it. Not now. He wasn't stupid. Thanks to Antoine,
