"How is it not scary if you say you're going to bring us to see Hayden without bringing Daddy along?" Layla had a sad expression. "Are you two going to get a divorce?"

"No." She wiped her daughter's tears with a tissue. "Daddy and I haven't gotten our marriage certificate yet. If we separate, it'll just be a breakup, not a divorce."

"How is that any different? Sob sob sob!" Layla's tears streamed down even more fiercely when she heard that explanation.

"Don't cry, Layla. Listen to me, okay."
