Plain truth jodi6/30/2023 ![]() ![]() For me, there was never any question that if I wanted to lick my wounds, I would wind up in Paradise, Pennsylvania. Grand Cayman, Paris, even a soul-searching hike through the Rockies. I suppose other women in my position-by this I mean heartbroken, at odds, and recently given a large sum of money- might have chosen a different destination. Our lips separated like a seam being ripped, and then I got into the car and drove away. "You'll call me when you get there?" Stephen asked, but before I could answer, he kissed me. In our eight years together we had not married, but we hadn't separated, either. But on another level, Stephen couldn't accept that I might be moving away for good. You didn't go to law school and make Law Review and work in the trenches to land the trial of a lifetime, only to question your own career choice. I wanted to take some time off before choosing whether I ever wanted to take another case, period, but that was beyond Stephen's realm of belief. "You want to take some time off before choosing your next big case." ![]() "I completely understand," he said, although he didn't. ![]() Stephen helped me load my things into the back of my car. That was the moment I knew I would be leaving. "The Big Guys are willing to see you today at six o'clock." "Good news," Stephen said before I'd even given a greeting. ![]()
