It's a Long Way to Her Heart
In my seven years of being married to my husband, Mark Chapman, he always gives me whatever I ask for and prioritizes me in everything.
This goes on until he keeps sending food coupons to a female college student named Hayley Larkson. Not only that, he stands up for her and beats up some thugs on her behalf. One time, he even takes her to the hospital to get treatment.
Holding a toy, my daughter asks Mark innocently, "Dad, Ms. Larkson is so gentle and pretty. She's not as strict and mean as Mom, who always makes me do homework. Can you ask her to move in and be my teacher?"
Mark smiles and replies, "Sure."
I stand frozen in a corner, my lips trembling.
Just then, the system's cold voice speaks in my mind. It asks if I want to go home.
I close my eyes and reply, "Take me home."
