At our Christmas Eve dinner, my daughter handed me my husband's spare phone. On the screen was an ultrasound from my best friend and one message: Come to my room after she falls asleep. I said nothing and quietly saved the evidence. That night, my best friend faked a fall, and my husband rushed her to the hospital without even checking on me. For the next six days, while he stayed with her, I packed my things and prepared to leave. On New Year's Eve, my husband finally came home carrying roses, certain his wife would still be waiting. Instead, he walked into an empty house.
