Zeroed Out
I was packing my hospital bag, weighed down by my belly, when I noticed a note sitting on the table.
'Babe, there's a planetary alignment that only happens once every 77 years and I just got pulled through a time portal. Don't miss me. See you when I see you.'
The bag slipped from my hands and hit the floor. My husband, Jasper Wynn, had snuck off again behind my back, abandoning his wife who was days away from giving birth.
In our three years of marriage, the excuses he came up with were getting more and more ridiculous than the last.
