He was away on a business trip, and she was alone in their apartment. The phone buzzed on the coffee table. She felt a sudden urge to know. The call log revealed multiple calls to a woman she didn’t know, a name that made her heart sink. But then, she thought of their history, their shared adventures, the quiet comfort of their daily life. She remembered all of the things that they loved.

She was at peace.
