“Whoa, what the hell is up with you?” Cameron leaned in closer to Morty.

They were just going through the motions at a business forum dinner, but he hadn’t expected to stumble upon Morty’s little

secret.

Morty glanced up at Cameron. “The official ‘getting to know each other‘ phase has begun. Get ready to call her your sister–in-

law.”

“For real?” Cameron eyed him suspiciously. “You’ve never been in a relationship in over twenty years, and the first one you get is an absolute bombshell? The way you’re talking, it sounds like you’re headed straight for marriage. Who’s the goddess that descended from the heavens and managed to tame you?”

Morty just gave a faint smile and raised his brow slightly.

To Cameron, that raised eyebrow was loaded with meaning.

He wasn’t saying he didn’t want to talk about it–just that it wasn’t the right time yet.

Cameron didn’t press further and decided to wait for the right moment.

Instead of talking about love lives, the two shifted the conversation to business.

At some point, Cameron glanced around and said, “I saw Easton earlier, but now he’s gone.”

Technically speaking, Cameron could call himself Easton’s friend, but only just. He wasn’t part of Easton’s tight–knit childhood crew, more like someone hovering on the outskirts. But when it came to Morty, he was a solid, ride–or–die kind of friend.

“He’s been gone for a while. You just didn’t notice.” A waiter passed by with a tray of drinks, and Morty grabbed two glasses, handing one to Cameron.

“Man, wherever Mr. Easton goes, he’s the center of attention. People swarm him, trying to kiss up. I can’t compete with that.” Cameron had only said a quick hello when he first spotted Easton and hadn’t paid much attention after that.

Morty took a sip of his drink without commenting.

Cameron elbowed him and asked with a hint of gossip, “So, is it true? Easton and Ellis really got divorced?”

“You’re way behind on this. You’re just asking me now?”

“Hey, the second I heard about it, I came to ask you. Not like you’d necessarily know.”

“They’re divorced.” Morty paused before adding, “But it’s not how the rumors say. Easton didn’t kick her to the curb–Ellis dumped him. She dumped him hard.”

He didn’t know the full story behind why Ellis left, but judging by Easton’s reaction, she must’ve hit him where it hurt the most. Otherwise, why would Easton be so visibly affected every time someone mentioned their divorce?

Logically speaking, when someone reacts so strongly to a topic, it’s because it strikes a nerve–hard.

The outside world thought Ellis was the one who got dumped. The rumors had gotten out of control, painting her in a bad light, full of disdain and mockery. Every time Morty heard them, he wanted to correct them: Easton didn’t throw Ellis out— Ellis was the one who threw Easton away.
