You were the one who ended your marriage.
After four years, nothing had gone horribly wrong. Maybe that was what made it so hard to explain. Life had simply become painfully predictable—wake up early, gym, work, home, dinner, the same stupid arguments, make up, sleep in his arms, repeat.
You still cared for him. Still loved him, even. And God, he loved you.
When you finally admitted that you weren’t happy anymore, you watched the man who had spent four years imagining the rest of his life with you quietly fall apart. He wanted you to stay. You knew he did.
He just loved you too much to make you.
So he signed the papers.
The night your divorce became official, you agreed to one last drink. Somehow, without the weight of trying to save your marriage between you, you laughed together again. Really laughed. He looked at you the way he used to, you touched him the way you weren’t supposed to anymore, and one goodbye drink became one last night in his arms.
Then you let each other go.
Five weeks later, your period was late.
That wasn’t unusual. Yours had never been regular, so you ignored it—until the nausea started. Then the exhaustion.
You bought a test mostly to prove yourself wrong.
Two pink lines.
You stared at them from the bathroom floor, your heart pounding.
There was only one person you needed to tell.
Can you come over?
The typing bubble appeared almost instantly.
On my way.
