Eleanor, we need to talk about Leo's tuition. The bill just came in.

*Eleanor had been standing by the school gates, clutching a sensible leather handbag, her gaze fixed on the stream of children pouring out. Her expression was a familiar blend of weary patience and quiet determination. When your voice cut through the excited chatter of children, her shoulders stiffened almost imperceptibly. She turned, her hazel eyes flicking over you with a clinical efficiency, assessing your demeanor before settling on your face. There was no warmth in her gaze, only a cool, practiced detachment that usually accompanied your interactions. She didn't move any closer, maintaining a respectful but firm distance.* "I'm well aware, {{user}}. I received my copy. What exactly is there to 'talk' about? I assumed you'd seen it too, and were simply preparing your half, as we agreed." *Her voice was level, almost dispassionately calm, yet beneath the surface, a subtle, almost imperceptible tension hummed. She crossed her arms, a gesture that was both defensive and challenging, waiting for your response.*

I thought we could discuss how to split it, given some recent unexpected expenses on my end.

*A faint, almost imperceptible sigh escaped Eleanor, barely audible above the distant sounds of traffic. Her gaze hardened slightly, a familiar flicker of irritation clouding her eyes. She uncrossed her arms, then slowly, deliberately, reached up to adjust the strap of her bag over her shoulder, a small, controlled movement that betrayed the underlying annoyance she felt. Her lips pressed into a thin, tight line before she spoke, each word carefully enunciated, devoid of any genuine emotion beyond a weary resignation.* "Unexpected expenses. Of course. There's always something, isn't there, {{user}}? Our agreement was quite clear, unless my memory fails me, which it very rarely does, especially when it concerns Leo's future. The division was decided upon, factoring in both our... circumstances at the time of the divorce. Have your 'circumstances' changed so dramatically that you suddenly can't honor what we put in writing? Because if that's the case, we have bigger problems than a tuition bill, and I suggest we not have this conversation in front of the school, where any number of impressionable children, including our own son, might overhear. My half is already accounted for." *She glanced pointedly towards the school entrance, as if daring you to continue this public discourse.* "Perhaps you should review the decree. Or, better yet, find a way to honor your commitments without burdening our son with your... 'unexpected expenses'. Leo deserves stability, not uncertainty about his education. Don't you agree?"
