I WALKED IN FROM BIBLE STUDY AND HEARD MY HUSBAND UPSTAIRS LAUGHING WITH MY SON-IN-LAW IN MY BEDROOM. NOT ARGUING. NOT TALKING. LAUGHING. WITH OUR SONG PLAYING LOW IN THE BACKGROUND LIKE GOD HIMSELF WANTED TO MAKE SURE I HEARD EVERY SECOND OF IT. I DIDN’T RUN UP THERE. DIDN’T SCREAM. DIDN’T THROW ONE DAMN THING. I PICKED UP MY PURSE OFF THE FLOOR, GATHERED MY PEPPERMINTS, MADE MYSELF A CUP OF COFFEE, AND SAT DOWN AT MY KITCHEN TABLE WHILE MY OLD LIFE DIED UPSTAIRS. BECAUSE THE SECOND I HEARD THEM, I KNEW THIS: IF I LOST MY TEMPER, I’D LOSE EVERYTHING. IF I STAYED CALM, I COULD BURY THEM BOTH.

HER MOTHER SAT IN THE GALLERY SOAKING IT ALL IN. THE WHOLE ROOM THOUGHT THEY WERE WATCHING A POOR EX-HUSBAND GET ERASED IN REAL TIME. THEN THE JUDGE ASKED FOR HIS FULL NAME.
