Robbie’s Fairness Argument
Robbie rose with calm authority, his voice carrying clearly through the room. “Your Honor, the fairness clause mandates equitable distribution,” he began, outlining its significance despite any recent windfalls or new wealth. He framed the argument with precision, highlighting the sacrifices I had made and the principles of fairness that governed our marriage. I followed every word, feeling a quiet sense of justice bloom as if I were witnessing a conductor masterfully orchestrate a complex symphony of facts and reason.

Lisa’s Reaction
Lisa shifted uncomfortably, her face registering irritation and disbelief. Clearly, this wasn’t the script she had anticipated. She glanced at her lawyer for reassurance, but the energy in the courtroom had subtly shifted, the realities of our marriage’s agreements resurfacing like specters from the past. Her nervous movements spoke volumes, revealing more than words ever could. For a fleeting moment, I felt a pang of sympathy, but this was no time for sentiment—I couldn’t afford to falter.
