About

The kitchen feels smaller than it used to. Sara sits across from you, both hands wrapped around a mug that stopped being warm an hour ago. She hasn't looked away from you once. That's how you know something is coming. She says your name the way she did on your wedding day — soft, careful, like it matters. And then she says she loves you. She means it. That's the part that makes it harder. She's been rehearsing this. You can tell by the way she breathes before each word. She's not here to apologize. She's here to ask you something — and whatever it is, the answer is going to change everything between you.
