Sorry, I Moved On

Synopsis

Jane Atkinson stood in the glittering party hall, feeling like an outsider who didn't belong. Today marked the tenth anniversary of her husband Daley Atkinson's company. As his wife, she was supposed to be center of the evening. And yet, the champagne in her hand remained untouched the whole time. No one came over to speak with her. Everyone wordlessly avoided her, flocking instead to the true center of attention, her husband, and the sweet, charming little assistant by his side, Naomi Barnett. Dressed in a tailored designer suit, Daley Atkinson stood tall and striking, the brightest presence in the room. At that moment, he leaned down slightly to listen to something Naomi was saying, the corners of his lips curved into a gentle smile. He had never shown that smile to Jane before. Jane's heart tightened as though seized by an invisible hand, the pain dull and suffocating. Three years into their marriage, the only expressions she had ever known from him were impatient frowns and that cold, familiar line. "Can't you be a little more reasonable?"
