Marriage & Affair

After twenty years of marriage, my husband said something polite that made my blood run cold. It was the wrong kind of polite.

I gave him an organ to save his life. Less than a year after the transplant, he was using the body I helped rebuild to cheat on me.

She swore on our children's lives there was no one else. I believed her enough to live out of my car for an entire season.

She packed two suitcases and walked out for someone new. The thing she didn't pack would come back to haunt us both eight months later.

I had rehearsed how to tell my wife I was dying the whole drive home. I never got to say it. There was a car in the driveway I didn't recognize.
