At 3:17 A.M., Police Told Me My Husband Was Dead—But He Was Sleeping Beside Me
I stopped.
My husband was aggressively right-handed.
Brushed his teeth with his right.
Carried bags with his right.
Used keys with his right.
Held his phone in his right.
Even when his shoulder hurt, he favored that side.
I stared at the left hand pressed against the elevator door.
