On the night of my 30th birthday, I waited until the early hours of the morning, but my husband, Theodore Hawk never showed up. Instead, I came across an Instagram post from his childhood sweetheart, Emily Gallagher. [What romantic is not the starry night, it is having you by my side.] In the picture, she was wearing a delicate, sky-blue camisole that revealed just enough to charm and seduce. A man stood close behind her, his hand firmly gripping her waist. The scene was set in the seaside villa that Theodore had gifted her, their figures intimately entwined under the soft glow of the night. Someone had commented beneath the post: [I can’t stand you two being this lovey-dovey all the time! Just get married already!] Emily had responded with a shy-face emoji. I had just liked the post when Theodore, who I had failed to reach all night, blew up my phone with calls. "Are you out of your mind, Camilla? Emi and I grew up together! If we wanted to be together, we would’ve done so long ago! Why are you being so petty?" Looking at how Theodore gently held her in his arms, comforting her, I realized something. Letting go of someone you’ve loved for seven years... can take only a moment.

Mi novio fue diagnosticado con cáncer y necesitaba un trasplante de hígado. Cuando supe que yo era compatible, no dudé ni un segundo en aceptar la operación. Me extirparon dos tercios del hígado. El dolor era insoportable, pero en cuanto recuperé la conciencia, corrí a ver cómo estaba él. Frente a la puerta, escuché su conversación con un amigo. —Eres un genio, Javier. Nadie más podría idear una forma de venganza tan cabrona. Javier Morales soltó una risa burlona. —Si no fuera porque no quería armar tanto escándalo, hasta le habría quitado un riñón solo por diversión. —Por su culpa, Elena fracasó en el examen de ingreso a la universidad y tuvo que irse al extranjero. En un mes regresará, y en ese momento me despediré de Lucía para siempre.

My grandmother only knows how to draw one thing—infants. They're ugly, but people line up to buy the paintings. I watch as she takes those women into unlit rooms. Then, their bloodcurdling screams will ring out. Oddly enough, they always thank my grandmother when they're leaving. One day, I finally find out what exactly my grandmother paints. I discover the truth when I see an infant crawl out of one of the women's bellies—it looks just like the one my grandmother has painted.
