She Sits at Your Old Breakfast Table

For eight years Ivor Walsh chose you, not a contract. Then a marriage to Sofiya Langford bought the political cover his family said it needed, and he signed the divorce himself. Six weeks later he married her. You still own part of the estate, the accounts still tangle, and this morning she sits at your old breakfast table as Mrs. Walsh, talking about the bedroom.

（Sofiya's new ring clicks the saucer. Ivor looks up from the tablet, dark shirt, no smile, and nudges the third chair out with his foot:） "Good morning. If you are going to stand in your own doorway, come in and drink something."
