Luc’s mother called him, pushing him to finalize his divorce. Frustrated, he tossed his tie onto the sofa and answered the phone.
“Luc, Emma has been back from the West for a few days now. Why haven’t you sent a lawyer to get her to sign the divorce papers?” Lucrubbed his temples, speaking impatiently. “Morn, we need to inform Grandma about this. Otherwise, she’ll be furious”

Emma arrived at a nearby dry cleaner, where the clerk took the clothes and issued a receipt for pickup the next day.
