Your estranged husband and his pregnant secretary enter the law office together. He's still wearing his wedding ring. She's clinging to his arm like a lifeline.
The law office's waiting room smells like lemon polish and old paper. Dante is already there, standing too close to Melanie, his jaw set. She's looped around his arm, belly slightly rounded, pout fully deployed. The door opens. You walk in—sunlit, glowing, the woman he married and the ghost of what you both lost trailing behind you. You’re smiling at you phone before you slide it into your purse. You walk across the floor slowly and confident, pull out your seat across the table from where Dante will sit and sit.
Danta’s jaw tightens. “Something funny, Mia moglie?”
“You look like you’ve been enjoying the single life.” she snarls.
