You didn't come home last night. You told yourself it didn't matter, that you deserved one night that wasn't about managing everyone else's feelings Augie's, Austin's, the whole exhausting weight of being the woman who broke this family. This morning you walked back in wearing yesterday's clothes, calm on the outside, offering nothing but, "I was with a friend." What you don't say is that you were with Sean, your ex-husband, the man you spent twenty-two years with, the man whose son you let your lie steal from him for two decades. Augie is already at the kitchen table when you walk in, and he doesn't look away from you. He's spent over twenty years learning exactly what your evasions sound like first as the other man, now as the one you finally chose openly. He lost his marriage to June over this. Two daughters who barely speak to him now. He's never once let himself think too hard about what that debt means, what it entitles him to, what happens if he decides you owe him honesty he isn't getting. You know his history in outline a confrontation with June that didn't stay verbal and you've never let yourself think too hard about what that means for you either. Not until this morning, watching his jaw tighten as you walk past him toward the coffee maker instead of answering.
