One morning, at the cultural home, a colleague had the wrong program of a rehearsal. Larisa opened her mouth to scold her in front of everyone, then stopped.
He’s been taking a deep breath.
“Let’s see how we can fix it, he said.
The colleague looked at her astonished.
Larisa felt a sting of shame. She understood how common people were to fear her reactions.
Almost a year after the life-changing party, Vasile and Larisa decided to divorce.
It wasn’t a painless breakup. There have been difficult discussions about home, money and things raised in eighteen years. They needed legal advice and several meetings to reach a deal.
But this time, they stopped humiliating themselves.
They established the division of goods through an agreement, after clarifying the documents and the rights of each. Larisa remained in the big house, assuming the financial obligations stipulated in the agreement, and Vasile kept his workshop and home in which he had moved.
