There were card charges in ports I’d never visited, hotel reservations, expensive dinners, and an enormous purchase at a jewelry store shortly before Brandon’s return.

I stared at the entries until the figures blurred.

While I’d been calculating the cost of special formula and asking the pediatrician whether we could stretch our supply another week, Brandon had apparently been buying gifts.

Then I called a family-law attorney whose name Tessa had recommended.

The receptionist booked a consultation for Friday.

I didn’t yet know whether my marriage was over.
