I'm Over You, Over Everything

In public Lucy Litt and Paul Grant kept up the arrangement of a manager and his subordinate, and at home they were a married couple and did everything a married couple does. She had married him against her parents, knowing he had agreed to the match to get his own family off his back, and she had been reshaping herself for him for years, going back to the time he pulled her out of the worst period of her life. Then Mona Meyer, the woman Paul had wanted before her, came back. Lucy understood from that point that none of what she had given him had ever registered with him. She asked for the divorce. Ian Seed was around after she left, and with him she went back to being the person she had been before any of it.
