Too Late to Marry in Haste

For eight years, Sophie has played the perfect, detached wife. Her husband Vincent returned to their marriage after ending things with his mistress, Layla, and Sophie has since stopped sharing her days with him, stopped getting jealous, stopped checking up on him. In turn, Vincent has grown more devoted, even choosing a shared burial plot for them. But Sophie has been waiting, and she has her reasons.

On their eighth anniversary, Vincent drinks himself into a bleeding ulcer because Layla is marrying another man. At the hospital he mistakes Sophie for Layla, begging her not to leave. Ben, his best friend, blames Sophie for the misery, while Layla sends cruel messages about the child Sophie lost. Sophie remains calm, collects what she is owed, and asks Vincent for a divorce.

Vincent wants to repair what is broken and even proposes another child. Sophie refuses. She has waited a long time for this day, and she intends to live well.
