Jodi’s world quickly started to unravel just days after Kelly had turned up at the art studio to tell her she was getting a divorce so they could be married. Jodi reluctantly agreed to have Kelly move into her and Tina’s house but Kelly still found herself alone most of the time since Jodi stayed at the studio. Jodi forbade Kelly from ever showing up at the studio unannounced again and especially not drunk. The murderous look that Jodi gave Kelly made her realize that Jodi was deathly serious so Kelly stayed away.

Kelly had yet to tell Jodi about her and Matthew’s prenuptial agreement but she figured they would be okay financially for a while. Kelly had a bit of savings and an income from her London business to get by on but she certainly couldn’t afford to pay Jodi’s expenses. Since Jodi was expecting the proceeds from the Hammer instillation and there was still the possibility for the Peabody Arts Foundation grant Kelly didn’t see that as a problem. As far as Kelly was concerned it was high time that Jodi foot her own bills and took care of her for a change.

Once she got settled into the Kennard/Lerner house Kelly started to see things she’d never noticed before. Tina Kennard’s presence was everywhere. Jodi hadn’t changed a thing. When she’d visited it never bothered Kelly but now that she lived there she was haunted by them. She wanted them removed. Kelly started by packing away Tina’s clothes, shoes, and accessories to make room for hers in the master bedroom. She’d intended to stay sober for the task but going through Tina’s things was harder than she imagined. She poured a drink to help her along. The bottle was nearly empty by the time she got to the shelves where Tina stored her photo boxes. Tina preferred this method of display rather than photo albums so each box was carefully labeled to chronicle the major and most significant events in her life; many of which she’d shared with her closest and dearest friend Kelly.

Kelly removed the most recent box which contained photos of Jodi and Tina’s wedding and the month they spent together before leaving on the honeymoon. She flipped through the pictures and came across the one Tina had taken of her and Jodi when they’d been introduced. Jodi was hugging Kelly closely and had a big smile on her face. There was another of Jodi kissing Kelly on the tennis court when they’d won a double’s match against that other couple. Kelly flipped through hundreds of photos in the box; some included Tina, Matt and other friends but most were of Kelly and Jodi.
