A Stranger Left an Envelope Beside My Bed on My Sixty-Second Birthday—Then I Found His Photograph with My Son
When he took my hand, I let him.
Later, I invited him upstairs.
It was my decision, made without anyone forcing it, and for a few hours I felt like a woman whose wishes still mattered.
The next morning, the other side of the bed was cold.
A white envelope lay on the nightstand.
Beside it was a photograph of me asleep.

For several seconds, I thought the photograph belonged to some other room, some other woman.
