Now it represents something else too.
A place where my husband tried to keep two parts of his family from touching.
I don’t know yet what happens to our marriage.
Forty years doesn’t disappear because of one terrible decision.
But 40 years doesn’t erase that decision either.
The strangest part is that I spent one awful night believing some young woman had stolen part of my husband from me.
She hadn’t.
She didn’t even know she was a secret.
That mistake belongs entirely to Robert.
Ariella was only looking for family.
And whatever happens between my husband and me, I refuse to make her lose another one.
