The Moon Guided Her With Its Light

Synopsis

At the parent-teacher conference, I noticed a cut at the corner of the mouth of my daughter Bailey's teacher, Christina. When my husband, Daryl, suddenly leaned in to kiss me, I dodged with a smile, but out of the corner of my eye, I saw clusters of red marks on his collarbone. My mind suddenly went numb with a buzzing sensation, and I understood. Those were not just red marks but hickeys and scratch marks. This man, who had been married to me for seven years, had an affair. I still smiled as I saw him off to work and still kissed him goodbye. It was only the moment I turned away that my heart sank entirely into despair.
