The night I started bleeding in a hospital parking garage at thirty-six weeks pregnant, my husband chose another woman's blister. My husband told me to find security by myself. Ten minutes later, his oldest friend sent me a photo. In the bright backstage corridor of a luxury hotel, he was down on one knee, tying her broken shoelace and placing a bandage over the blister on her heel. He thought I would forgive him, just as I always had. Only when he came home to an empty house did he learn what it felt like to be the one left waiting.
