Going to get my divorce papers

A missed delivery led to Parcel Force mail from Japan: the divorce papers, collected before the post office closed. Only a small envelope arrived; his laptop, iPad, and other expensive belongings were absent, prompting concern his wife might retain or sell them. Her letter said she did not regret marriage, remembered more good than bad, and accepted separation; he felt guilty and uncertain, then cooked a bacon-pepper sandwich.

Divorce shifts from paperwork to emotional ambivalence, while cooking provides a familiar immediate distraction.
