He strokes his chin. “Fair enough. As long as I keep the house. I’ve put too much work and money into that place and it’s the kids’ home.”

My eyes well up. “Of course. I don’t want to upset the kids any more than we have to.” I inhale a deep breath. “We can share them. I’ll find somewhere close by.”

“There’s no rush to sort anything today. We can look at other places on the weekend. I’ll carry on sleeping in the spare room. There’s no rush for you to move out.”

He wipes his hand on his jeans and opens the door. “I’ll see you later, and we can tell the kids together.”
