After years of cherishing her and worshiping the ground she walked on, Blake finally had enough. Memories he missed and the lack of warmth in his marriage caused damage that cut deep, tearing him apart. As he reflected on his thoughts, he counted down the days to facing the same unchanging issues before deciding to leave. Claire, a well-known lawyer, never started out that way. With a diagnosis of lupus, her health was in danger, and her mental state declined along with it.
