No More Tears

Two years after Ethan and I got remarried, we had a child.

He actually kept the vows he made before our remarriage.

No flirting, no cheating, completely devoted to the family.

I thought we had returned to the days before there was a rift between us.

Until our son’s parent-teacher conference.

I took off work early, wanting to surprise my husband and son at school.

Instead, I saw Ethan holding a strange woman’s hand, laughing and talking with the teacher.

And the child I carried for nine months was clinging to the woman's leg, calling her "Mommy."

My heart turned to ice.
