PART 23: The Watch Returns

One afternoon, Judith told me that Bridgett’s attorney had contacted the company about returning personal property found in an office storage cabinet.

Among the items was the white ceramic watch.

Because it had been purchased with our household funds, the question of ownership was separate from the employment investigation.

I arranged, through our personal attorneys, for the watch to be returned to Connor, and the value accounted for in our marital property settlement.

I did not want Bridgett’s wrist, the company, or a piece of jewelry to determine the rest of my life.
