Quinta invited Jocelyn over for dinner at her place.
After her divorce, Quinta snagged a tiny two-bedroom pad, but once she married Damian, they quickly sold it off and, with a loan, bought the current little cottage they’re living in. It’s one of those places with stairs, right up on the top.
floor.
When Quinta sold the old place, her mother had a good moan to Jocelyn’s mom on the phone. She was like, “At least the old house was mine. Now, it is sold, and they got this new one, and it’s joint property’. If things stay peachy, great, but what if it all goes down the drain?”
Quinta’s mother was all sighs when she talked about it
At six in the evening. Quinta had the meal ready and called Damian. After a few words, he hung up, so she carried the dishes into the dining room and told Jocelyn to dig in.
“Isn’t Damian coming back?
“A couple of work buddies roped him into fishing.” Quinta set the table. “Forget him, let’s eat.”

“Didn’t cut ties completely, huh?” Jocelyn was curious.
“How can we ever cut ties completely? That’s the kid’s mom. We can’t just pretend she doesn’t exist, Quinta sighed. “The woman is jobless now, and hearing Damian made squad leader, she’s not sitting still. Luckily, Damian doesn’t really deal with her. He won’t even pick up her calls. He says he does it to ease my mind, letting the kid stay with his grandparents.”
Jocelyn hugged Quinta. “Just be the best you can be.
“With marriages like ours, I’ve gotta have a kid of my own to really cement the family together Quinta patted her hand. “Marriage isn’t some wild beast, but you’ve gotta think it through before diving in. After all, it’s an elevation of al relationship but also the start of a whole new set of responsibilities.”
