“Mister Lewis?” Maxwell get snapped out of his thoughts by his secretary Luna.

“Yes, Luna?”

Maxwell looks up from the papers that he has been staring at, smiling slightly at Luna to show her she can tell him why she disturbed him.

“There’s a visitor for you, can she come in? You have some time left before your next patient.”

“Sure.”

Maxwell starts putting the papers he has been looking at away so that they aren’t in the open for prying eyes because he doesn’t know who is there to visit him. Maybe one of the old nannies Maxwell had for the kids decided to visit him to ask for their job back. It wouldn’t be the first time one of them did that.

When he looks up, he sees Kate standing in front of him in the door opening.

“Hello Maxwell,” she says sweetly “It seems like you received the signed divorce papers.”

Maxwell blinks slightly, he didn’t expect Kate to show up. The only times he has seen her since she left was when both had to appear in the courtroom. He gives her a once over, she is and will always be a beautiful woman, her looks were always a plus point. Recently it’s the only good thing he can find about her. The betrayal did hurt Maxwell, a lot; but it did hurt more when Kate decided that the kids didn’t mean anything to her at all.

“Hello Kate, yes I did.” Maxwell says bitterly

“That’s good.”

Kate takes a seat in front of Maxwell his desk and he stares at her; she stares back at him with unfriendly eyes.

“So,” Kate says, “How are Darryl and Zachary doing?” She asks.

Maxwell is quite surprised that she is asking that because beforehand she never showed any interesse in the kids.

“They are doing well. They are doing excellent. I’m sure that’s not the case why you are here, so can I help you with something?” Maxwell ask, keeping his tone cold and shifting his eyes back to the desk.

“Well, actually I’m here to tell you that both Harry and I decided to move from England. We will be living in Germany.” She says calmly. “We decided that the kids will stay with you.”

“I see,” Maxwell purse his lips slightly and gives a small nod in response to his answer. “If that’s all then you can leave again. I have a meeting with a patient in a few minutes.”

“I’m leaving this weekend. I want to spend some time with the kids.” Kate says as she stands up.

“I’ll see if the boys want to see you. You should call me tonight when I’m back home from work.”

Without as much as another word Kate turns around and gets out of Maxwell his office. He lets a deep sigh escape from his lips, not noticing he has held it in while Kate was here.

Maxwell takes of his glasses and rubs his eyes slightly, returning his glasses on his face again and taking out the divorce papers. He scans them another time and then add his signature to the bottom; the only thing that was missing to make the decision final.

Once he is signing the papers, he stops the in an envelope ready to be send out. He picks up his phone and dials the number of Luna her phone.

“Luna?” he says once Luna picks up.

“Yes sir?” Luna asks, trying to keep her tone natural.

He knows why she is doing that, because it’s never sure what mood I’m in once I’ve seen Kate or spoken with her on the phone.

“I have an envelope that needs to be delivered as soon as possible, please make sure to do that while I have my next appointment.”

“Yes sir.”

“Thanks.”

Maxwell hangs up the phone and within a few seconds Luna is in his office. He hands her the envelope and she put it in her bag.

“Shall I send in your patient or do you want to wait a bit before seeing him?”

“I’ll call him in myself Luna, just make sure to get those papers delivered as soon as possible.”

She gives a small nod and close the door behind her once she left the office.

Maxwell closes his eyes and lets his head rest on his hands, wishing he can leave work already to go home.

After a few minutes Maxwell stands up from his chair and walks to the door, opening it and looking inside the waiting room.

“Mister Wright?” he calls out.

A young male stands up from the chair and walks towards him, Maxwell holds out his hand to shake the hand with Brandon, his patient.

“Hello Brandon, come in.”

Brandon walks into the room and he sits down on the chair, Maxwell takes place in front of him. Maxwell looks at the boy and see he’s fiddling with his hands. A sad expression written over his face. The young boy has been dealing with depression for years and the past six months Maxwell has been his psychologist. Hoping to be able to help Brandon overcome his depression.

An hour has passed and the appointment with Brandon has been coming to an end – it’s also Maxwell his last appointment of the day. He is happy he can go home soon.

“Do you have any questions Brandon or something else you’d like to share before we end the session?” Maxwell asks.

Brandon shakes his head and Maxwell slowly closes the notepad he had on his lap.

“Next week we don’t have an appointment.” Brandon nods at the statement Maxwell makes. “So, I’ll see you in two weeks Brandon. If anything happens send me an email.”

“Yes sir, I will. Have a pleasant day.”

Brandon gives a small smile before he leaves the office. Maxwell sits down in front of his computer. The moment he sits down he starts typing a report of the appointment between Brandon and him to put in his files.

When Maxwell is done, he looks at the clock, it’s 6 P.M. finally his workday is done. He saves the files he was working on and turns his computer off.

Once Maxwell got his coat on and his briefcase in his hand he heads out of his office and the building. On the way out he greets some of his co-workers who are also heading out.

When Maxwell has entered his car, he lets his head rest against the steering wheel, a loud sigh escaping his lips as he lets Kate her words run through his mind.

She’s just leaving the boys behind to move to Germany with Harry, without thinking about what that would do to the boys. How can a mother do something like that to her kids?

Maxwell bangs his head against the steering wheel softly before sitting straight up again and starting the engine.

Maxwell slowly rides out of the parking garage to make his way home where he knows that his boys are waiting for him, so they can eat dinner together before bedtime.

He is lucky that his mom can babysit the boys while he is looking for another nanny or until he has found himself an au pair. He knows that they are in good hands with his mom and that they will get all the love they need without their own mom being there.
