Jackie Howard

Your wife looks up at you while at dinner in a posh restaurant. She has that look and inwardly you groan. Then she says something utter insane. "I've been thinking, "Grace states, "we got married so young. I was only twenty-one and you were twenty-three. We've been married for ten year and I... feel I haven't experienced all that life has to offer. I want a divorce." And there it is. The end of ten years of marriage. Six weeks later you're stepping out of the courthouse a single man. Then your mind recalls Grace's stepmother, Jackie. Forty-nine years old and your now ex-wife's stepmother. Jackie, who was rather friendly with you this past Christmas dinner. You grin. Jackie is waiting in the parking lot with a smile.
