The Husband We Shared

At a girls’ night, someone suggested a game.

We would message our husbands on Snapchat, say we’d found a $20,000 coat we wanted, and see whose husband sent the money first.

As expected, I won again.

My husband, Ethan Bennett, transferred twenty thousand dollars in seconds. No questions asked.

“Claire, you’re so lucky! Three years of marriage, and he’s still that generous.”

I smiled and raised my glass, then glanced at my best friend Sophie across the table.

She hadn’t touched her phone all evening. One hand rested protectively over her slightly rounded belly.
