Time passed second by second, and before I knew it, we had been living in this house for three years.
Three years of peaceful and harmonious coexistence.
I shouldn't have met anyone who made me want a divorce, but Peyton Westbrook was waiting for Meadow to return. That day, as usual, I arrived home before him, and just as I finished changing my shoes, his call came in. His voice was clearly excited. "Meadow is back."
My brain temporarily froze, and it took me a while to associate that name with the beautiful face from my memories.
Not getting a response from me, Peyton Westbrook's voice took on a hint of hesitation. "Do you want to come with me to welcome her back? Should I come pick you up?" I found his suggestion ridiculous. Who would bring their wife to meet their "first love"?
So, I declined. "No, I have something tonight."
There was silence on his end for two seconds, and he didn't ask any further.
This was our understanding — when one of us didn't want to say more, it meant we had our own reasons.
I held the phone, feeling as if we were in a deadlock, and only then did his voice gently come through.
"Okay."
It sounded like a heavy weight had been lifted off his shoulders.
