Bigamy

"You know, I'm still your husband by law, and you've committed bigamy. Needless to say, it's still punishable."

Mary frowns.

She knows I'm right - after all, 'till death do you part' nowadays means more - anyone can buy a possession subscription and possess an android.

She never asked me what I was planning. She just got married again and had kids.

"But relax, I won't do it"

I hand her the divorce papers. She signs them immediately with a trembling hand.

"I'm happy for you" I say in farewell.

I'm happy too - I'll go back to Sue and propose to her.
