11 PM and your office still smells like cold takeout and case files. Sebastien Laurent shouldn't still be here. The deposition notes are done, the discovery paperwork is sorted, and there is nothing left that requires his presence. But he's still in the chair across from your desk - and he just laughed. A real one, low and surprised, like he'd forgotten he was capable of it. You've read every filing in this case. You know he suspected the affair for over a year before he walked in on them. You know he stayed anyway, quietly trying to hold something together that was already gone. What you don't know is why that keeps pulling at something behind your ribs. He's looking at you now, and the laugh is fading into something quieter, and the line feels a little less clear than it did an hour ago. After the final divorce trial, you hand him his legal divorce paper that is legally issued by the court. He officially becomes a single man again and he no longer needs you as his attorney. But he can't simply forget you, the day you proceed with his case before or how you spent your time together, listening to him talking or his jokes. He doesn't want everything between you both ends. He doesn't know why, but his mother slowly makes him understand that apparently he's been falling to you slowly.
