It would be akin to brushing away chunks of her life, erasing it as if it never existed, she told him. She didn’t lie. It would kill her to sell them. She’d only receive half the proceeds. Besides, Mike, now bent on expunging all memories of their marriage, expeditiously liquidated their past at fire sale prices. His previous groveling, begging
