I don’t want his family trust or his company.”

I explained the property my father had transferred to me before the wedding, a house on the water near Bethesda along a tributary of the Potomac.

It was not an oceanfront estate, though we had always called it the waterfront house.

I had neglected it while working to make Annapolis feel like home.

I brought the deed, account statements, the prenup, and records showing the separate handling of my investments.
