Selena’s College Savings
“What happened to us?”
I wanted to ask him which moment he meant.
The year I stopped buying clothes for myself to pay for Selena’s math camp?
The first time Camilla criticized a girl for wanting a degree?
The Friday he left with a suitcase while our daughter cried on the stairs?
Instead I answered, “I kept believing you would see what your words were doing.
You kept believing I would absorb the cost.”
