I didn't dare to keep the money in my bank account, and with no parents to rely on, I contacted my only friend, Carol Bennett.

Carol was on a business trip. When she heard that I was finally getting a divorce, she joyfully said, "Oh my God, I was just wondering how to tell you about that scumbag's infidelity. I'm so glad you're getting out of this hell. Wait for me to come back and celebrate it with you."
