That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

Prenups can be rendered worthless in many countries. They might be bullet-proof in America, but in the UK, which is where this case happens, they aren't fully legally binding (not yet anyway, but this might be changed soon). It's the same here in Australia where I live.Socialreject said:
