Tom smiled at Barbara as his fingers weaved through the softness of her naturally red hair. A twist of fate had brought them together and nothing would tear them apart, not ever.

They didn't even know each other before the desertion hearings, and that is the fate which brought them together. The twist of fate was due to the fact their first marriage partners had run off with each other.

The hearings were a simple formality. It took a very few minutes for the judge to grant their divorces.
