"Even more important for Katherine to have sometime to adjust. Leave her alone for the moment, let her see that she doesn't need to be dependent on you, nor would she be shamed in just living her life without you. She said something about heaven, maybe it was that she'd only passed on before arriving here, if that is the case, given sometime to think things over, she might agree that fighting would only cause unwanted trouble."
A server arrived with their drinks and Anna had to take a sip before continuing. "If it does come down to a divorce, all I can say is I hope it's mutual and painless, if not quick."
" I'm not just speaking of your and Katherine's future but also Gabriella's-the last thing the poor girl wants is to cause you trouble."
