So it ended in complete failure. Of course, this can't be entirely blamed on Carolline. Even without her, it's probably impossible for her to be with Bryan Hawkins. She knew him for so much longer than Carolline did, but so what?

"Remarried?" Joyce Lopez couldn't believe it.
"Yes, we divorced five years ago." Bryan Hawkins didn't say much more about it, since the matter was in the past.

"You're welcome."
