At My Daughter's School Play, She Called My Husband's Friend Mommy

Synopsis

At my daughter's school play, she placed the white daisies I bought in another woman's arms and called her Mommy. My husband stood behind them, his hand on the woman's back, while I held the empty flower wrap and stared at the moon chain I had once chosen for a stranger. That night, I opened the blue file box Caleb always told me not to worry about. By morning, I had packed one suitcase and left a letter on our dining table. I thought I was leaving a marriage. I had no idea what they had been preparing to take from me.
