"Slow down!" she whined. "By the way, isn't today your anniversary with Jesse? Tell her I said happy anniversary."
I let out a bitter chuckle, the absurdity stinging.
The call ended, leaving me alone in the hollow house. The decorations I'd spent the afternoon arranging mocked me, as empty as our marriage had become.
