I filed for separation two weeks later.
The papers did not mention the singers or the video. They listed the date of our marriage, our shared assets, and the company ownership we would have to untangle. The law gave us a process. It did not give either of us a painless way through it.
Claire hired her own attorney. I hired Paula to represent me. We agreed not to discuss the separation publicly. The agreement we'd signed about opening our marriage remained in the blue folder, but it no longer had any power over what I was allowed to feel.
The board retained Claire's ownership share. She agreed to step down as chief operating officer while the company's procedures were reviewed. Adrian resigned from the Northline negotiations. He did not speak to me again.
