I knew that talent wasn't enough given I had left the field for years. Skills and knowledge could fade over time.
As the moon climbed higher, I stretched my stiff neck and noticed a new text from a mutual friend of mine and Jeremiah. They had sentThe video was taken in a private room at a bar. Jeremiah and Elsa were sitting closely together, and both looked slightly drunk.

The friend sent a friendly reminder to me. "Jeremiah's been hanging around Elsa these days.
Aren't you gonna do anything about it? You should think about how you're gonna save your crumbling marriage!" Save my marriage? I figured divorce was the best solution.
A scumbag like Jeremiah wasn't worth any of my effort, and I'd feel sorry for myself if I did that. I deleted the video, pretending I never watched it.
