The Anniversary Secret
On the night of our fifth wedding anniversary, I set the table, lit the candles, and waited on the couch for my husband to come home.
As I scrolled through my feed to pass the time, a message notification popped up–from his old classmate, Susie Cartman.
"Angela, thanks to Calvin's seed, I can finally have my own baby."
The message came with a selfie–her grinning at the camera, holding up a medical slip in one hand, flashing a peace sign with the other.
I touched my stomach, where our child was quietly growing.
Calvin… Did you really think everything in life would always go your way?
