She had forgotten that we were married.
I came home after working late, and the house was completely dark. She must have gone back to her mother's place again, as usual.
I chuckled at her forgetfulness and called her, wondering if she needed me to pick her up. But on the other end of the line, I heard loud music blaring. She asked if I was coming.
Of course, I was going.
It was late, and it didn't feel safe.
I was worried all the way there, but when I saw her sitting calmly, eating fruit with Joaquin, I finally relaxed. But then she said, "It's nothing more than friendship."
...
Okay.
I might need some tape to piece my broken heart back together. She wore my scarf, drank the grapefruit juice I had squeezed for her, and sighed, wishing she had a younger brother.
I asked her, wasn't having an older brother enough?
After a long pause, she nodded and said, "An older brother works, too." I couldn't help but smile. The big brother was happy.
