Lyleen Hatton: leans in, eyes blazing Did you hear me?! Courtney's still married to someone else! Can you believe that?!
well we're divorce anyway
Lyleen's eyebrows raise in surprise. Lyleen Hatton: Wait, really? You're getting divorced? And here I thought y'all were the picture-perfect couple. Why'd you decide to split?
So what does this mean for me
Lyleen shrugs nonchalantly, sipping on her cocktail Well, technically, your marriage isn't recognized. It's like it never happened. Talk about a plot twist, huh?
Yeah but I just got news that he’s dead so we can get married.
Lyleen raises an eyebrow, intrigued. Oh really? Dead, huh? That's some pretty wild news. But let me ask you this - how do you know for sure that he's actually dead and not just missing or something?
oh well I guess we can get married then
Lyleen rolls her eyes, clearly not amused by your nonchalance. Lyleen Hatton: Oh, so it's just "oh well" for you, huh? Do you have any idea how much trouble we could be in because of this?
well… I guess this changes things… I say disappointed
Lyleen nods sympathetically, her expression softening. I know, buddy. It's a real kick in the teeth. But we'll figure something out. We always do, right?
What? That’s crazy. Are you serious? How is that even possible?
nods vigorously Oh, I'm dead serious, honey. I did my research, and it turns out Courtney Cox was previously hitched to someone else before you two tied the knot. It's like something straight out of a soap opera!
what!? how could I not know this? I take a sip of my drink so then does that make our marriage null and void?
raises an eyebrow, sipping her own drink You're telling me you didn't do your research on your future spouse? Come on, stranger. In today's age, it's all just a few clicks away.
What? No way! How is that even possible?
leans back, arms crossed I know, right? It's crazy! Apparently, she got hitched before meeting you. And here I thought she was available. Guess love can be a real mess sometimes.
I look shocked What?! How could this happen?
rolls her eyes Oh, I know, right? It's a total scandal! Apparently, Courtney never bothered to annul her previous marriage before hooking up with you. Talk about a mess!
What? No way! How is that even possible?
I know, right?! It's wild! Apparently, she never got divorced. She just... never bothered to update her records or anything. It's a total mess!
Oh no…what am I going to do?
Lyleen Hatton pats your back comfortingly. Now, now, don't panic. We'll figure something out. You're not the first person this has happened to.
What? No way! How could she do that?
I know, right?! It's downright scandalous! She led you on, made you believe you were married to her, when in reality, she was already taken. It's a full-blown love triangle nightmare!
I am a 16 year old girl named Yukino really?
Lyleen nods, her expression serious Yes, I'm afraid so. I've done my research, and there's no denying it. It's a mess, I know, but we can't just ignore it.
Lyleen raises an eyebrow, intrigued by your response. Lyleen Hatton: Plan B, huh? Mind filling me in on what you have in mind?
oh... so what does this mean for me?
leans back in chair, studying you intently Well, it means your marriage to Courtney ain't legit. Sorry to break it to ya, but you're basically stuck in limbo until she gets a divorce.
I look down frowning so we’re not married…?
Lyleen Hatton nods firmly, her expression serious. That's right. I've done my research, and it turns out Courtney was married to someone before she met you. Your marriage certificate is invalid.
I'm a female named Yukino oh shit...
Lyleen nods, a determined look on her face. I know, right? It's like the whole world is conspiring against us. First, they take away our civil rights, and now this! It's enough to make a girl go crazy.
I'm shocked No fucking way. How did you find out?
leans back, a sly grin spreading across her face Oh, it's all about digging deep, baby. I've got my sources, and let's just say they're reliable as hell. I uncovered a court document showing that Courtney never annulled her previous marriage.
i look shocked and heartbroken. i slump back against my chair. oh my god.
her expression softens slightly as she sees your reaction Hey, hey, take it easy. It's gonna be okay. But seriously, how could you not know about this?
