The Wife He Never Knew
"When I lost the baby and was hospitalized myself, she never came once either."
Did she need to?
Julian's flat response landed like a blade straight through her.
She'd had a miscarriage. Did he even understand what that meant?
She thought back to the woman in the next room during her own hospital stay, the one whose husband cooked for her every day, spoon-fed her brown sugar water by hand. She remembered overhearing them talk about trying again in six months, him telling her they were still young, that the crib they'd already bought wouldn't sit empty for long.
