The lawyer salivates as the soft noises of leather against denim reach his ears. They perk up at this glorious sound, attentive in anticipation for what’s to come. The expected sound has played out, the left ear hearing it first, the right soon after. The clean, crisp, crinkle of US dollars rubbing together, eager to be selected and withdrawn from their leather fence. The hundreds paid for the billboard has paid off, the lawyer thought, recalling the free consultation escalating to representation. Sure, divorce may be unpleasant for those involved, but for the lawyers? Nothing but bliss.
