I’d always known about my husband’s cheating, but when he was home, he was good company. Now he’d left.
Was I losing my mind, too?
“Leave Miami,” my daughter had said. She’d just given birth to my only grandchild. “You can start over with us in Orlando.”
What was she was thinking? She knows I’ve never been more than thirty miles from home.
I looked down. The purse I thought I’d lost was between my shoes.
Picking up my purse, I couldn’t wait for the train doors to open fully—my daughter cradling my granddaughter on the brightly lit platform.
