Hunter's Moon - The Case of the Wayard Spouse [IC]
thelaptop:
Desmond stole a quick glance at James, then Betty before reaching out carefully for the piece of paper with a tweezer he had on the very same desk.
"May I?"
LuckyDee:
Regardless of what either of them may respond, it takes only a fraction of a second to spot that it's a single letter-sized sheet of Hughes & Romanov stationery. Its content comes from a typewriter.
Betty has her eyes averted, as if she's glad to be rid of it.

Desmond picks up the piece of paper carefully with his tweezer and tries to read what was written on it, first to himself, then out loud.

║ There's no easy way to break this to you, so I'll just go ahead ║
║ and get it right out: I'm leaving you. I'm leaving all of this. ║
║ I've been untrue for too long, and I can only pray to the Light ║
║ for forgiveness. From you I don't expect any. ║
║ ║
║ I'm in love with Mary, and have been ever since I laid eyes on ║
║ her. We've been growing ever closer since, and I'm sick of ║
║ pretending otherwise anymore. We're leaving this town together ║
║ to start a new life elsewhere. I've sent divorce papers to ║
║ Schrader, all they need is your signature to make it official. ║
║ It's up to you. The house and everything in it is yours, I ║
║ don't need it anymore. ║
║ ║
║ I'm sorry for putting you through this. I hope you'll find ║
║ someone who can do better. Goodbye. ║
