She nodded.
“Fine.”
Jessica slowly entered and lowered herself into the chair beside my bed.
“Did you know about me?”
“No.”
“He said you barely spoke unless it was about the kids.”
Her mouth tightened.
“He told me you knew he was leaving.”
“I didn’t.”
“He said you barely spoke unless it was about the kids.”
“We slept in the same bed.”
“He said you had separate rooms.”
Jessica became completely still.
“He said you had separate rooms.”
“We went on a family vacation six months ago.”
“I saw the pictures.”
She raised one of the photographs from the box. Daniel’s arm was wrapped around my waist.
She looked down at the card in her hand.
“He said they were for the children.”
“We celebrated Valentine’s Day.”
She looked down at the card in her hand.
“And our anniversary.”
