"Languishing is a strange word to use," Livia points out. "There are people who would kill to have your life."
"I know," Raylen admits easily. "I was quite the ingrate."
Livia does not say anything, partly because she is unsure how she can respond without awkwardness and partly because she is not really interested in his past. The two of them stand together in silence as they watch their children explore the exhibition with bright eyes and wide smiles.
The wordlessness between them allows the strangeness of the situation to finally dawn on her. She does not really know this man, no.
They have two children that will forever tie them together as some sort of family, no matter what the divorce says—it is a divorce, not an annulment. They were intimate once and know each other's body almost as well as they know their own. They had a whirlwind romance and a fairytale wedding. They spent years as the perfect couple in the eyes of the media.
