Short Story: I M Divorcing You, Lilian?
I`m divorcing you, Lilian!" Geraldine heard Philip scream.
"You`re killing me, Philip," Lilian responded.
"I`m marrying Geraldine without your permission," Philip said.
Geraldine sat in a armchair on the porch and overheard the whole argument from the open window. She was pleased to hear Philip`s confrontation and saw how they made lively gestures behind the curtain. Then Benjamin walked out on the porch with his usual pessimistic look on his aging face.

Mark rolled through the open gate and viewed the big manor. The manor was in Elizabethan architecture style with white splines, and with windows that were yellow coloured of salt and wind. The dark red brick facade had been honed by the sea. Now they were all assembled in the manor, everyone except Geraldine. Alastair, Benjamin, and Julie had a flowing conversation, talking about the recent past eighteen years of their lives. The laughter and lively vivid chitchat was disrupted by the noise of a car parking outside the manor. From the entrance Geraldine came walking and everyone became silent. She walked into the living room, threw her fur coat and leather gloves on the sofa and took a seat.

Why doesn't she keep her silly old mug at home?” Miss Brill begins to feel self-deception and is forced to realize that she wasn’t the center of attention or an important part of the crowd full of strangers.

Nothing was thrown about hap-hazard like in Juliet’s studio apartment in South Shore. The light grey walls of the living room had accents of light pinks, blues, and silvers.

    “Just put place a little trust in him, Delta. There has to be an adequate reason that we’re bringing her along,” Walker responds, slamming the trunk shut. Delta shakes her head, ready to retort a response, when Eleanor walks out of the house. She looks much more put together than before, her blond hair in a neat braid and not a trace of the tear that were there before.
