The Budget of Paradox

Sophia,
I follow Kimberly’s Instagram. It appears that she’s in Greece. Good for her. I hope she has a good time. A quick side story: I always liked Kimberly. She was always respectful and fair with me, even during the divorce. In fact, after my last court appearance at the Lynchburg courthouse, I went to some bar on Rivermont near Randolph College. Kimberly came with me. We had a few drinks and we talked for about an hour. Of course, her sister had just divorced me, so it wasn’t entirely comfortable. But she seemed genuinely sympathetic. Sadly, that was the last time I would ever talk to her.

Anyway, I know you’re in school and it’s not possible for you to be in Greece right now. But I’m in north Africa and we would be SO CLOSE. I can get to Istanbul in a few hours, and maybe even Athens in a few hours.

I get excited at the idea that you and Kimberly might travel together someday and we all could meet.

Kimberly speaks Spanish. I even suggested she bring you to Mexico City. It’s only five hours from Lynchburg. The world can be a small place.

When you see Kimberly, tell her I hope she had a nice time in Greece.

Dad
