That night, I lay in bed, staring at the ceiling. I told myself I didn’t care. I told myself this was better. But no matter how many times I repeated it, I couldn’t shake the feeling that I had made a mistake. A different kind of mistake. One I might not be able to fix.

Nothing had seemed out of the ordinary. But I had been so stressed lately, so distracted. Could I have made a mistake without realizing it?
