My Wife's Secret Love
She often sat in front of our parents' grave for entire afternoons.
"Mom and Dad, Arthur and I are doing really well now. Arthur's been so good to me, and my illness is almost gone."
Whenever she spoke like that, I would stand at a distance, watching silently, my heart filled with mixed emotions.
One day, Harris came again, bringing news I did not expect. "Mr. Lambert, Cassie, committed suicide in prison."
I paused for a moment, but felt nothing inside.
Harris continued, "She used a hidden piece of broken ceramic to slash her wrists. By the time they found her, it was too late. She also left a suicide note addressed to you."
