Ex-Husband's Regret
Sierra.
I wake to a dull ache low in my stomach. At first, it’s faint, something I can almost ignore, but the longer I lie still, the sharper it feels.
It feels like a cramp. Like the ones I got during my periods. My hand instinctively goes to my abdomen, pressing lightly, as if that alone could soothe it, and I give it time to ease. Maybe I slept in the wrong position or something.
