(Aurora's POV)
I stopped walking for a second. The lunch crowd moved around me. I read the message again, then typed back: *Give me ten minutes.*
I walked back to the office faster than I needed to.
At my workstation, I sat down, opened my laptop, and pulled up the email from the court. The document was attached - twelve pages, formal header, case number at the top. I scrolled directly to the last page.
The final ruling was there in plain language. The court granted the divorce. The marriage between Aurora Higgins and Jasper Everett was legally dissolved, effective immediately upon issuance of this decree.
Something in my chest came loose.
I sat with that for a moment. Just a moment.
Then I kept reading. The property division section was two pages long, and I read every line of it.
