Adrift: The Lost Lonely Boat

In the dead of night, my husband held me close and suddenly remarked with emotion:

"You look so beautiful with your hair down like this."

His eyes were full of affection, but I felt as if I'd plunged into an icy abyss.

Because I always sleep with my hair down every night.

A week later, I went for a prenatal checkup and ran into a woman.

Her high ponytail and the necklace she wore caught my eye.

It was identical to the one Zachary had given me on our anniversary.

"Honey?"

Zachary suddenly filled my field of vision.

"It's our turn, shall we go in?"

I shifted my gaze to his face.
