    Summary

    She doesn’t like parties without George at her side to murmur sharp little asides to, or bring her champagne, or dance with her when the song is slow enough. She doesn't like parties where everyone looks at her like she's a three-legged puppy because her husband- her ex-husband- stays glued to the opposite side of the room as though she's got a forcefield around her.

    In which Bertha and George are divorced, and make it everyone else's problem.

    Summary

    Sharon had booked a vacation the day she signed her final divorce papers. Even though the divorce was expensive, especially on a teacher’s salary, she had made sure to keep a little fund for herself so that she could relax once the hell that was her marriage was officially over. 

    She just never expected to meet someone while on vacation… Especially not the famous actress, Madeline Ashton.
