At 2:00 a.m., My Husband Thought I Was Asleep While He Emptied Our Safe to Run Off With His Mistress. Before Leaving, He Kissed Me and Whispered, “Poor Audrey. You Never Saw This Coming.” Hours Later He Sent a Photo From the Airport. I Replied With Four Words That Made Him Call Me Immediately.
By 7:00 a.m., the sun was fully up.
I changed out of the nightclothes I had been wearing when Daniel kissed my forehead and whispered that I would never see it coming.
I dressed in a plain blouse and dark trousers.
I tied my hair back.
I put on the watch my mother had given me after my first completed audit.
Daniel used to joke that I dressed like someone who expected to be called into a deposition.
Today that joke had nowhere left to land.
