The Wife He Tried to Erase

Andres caught my hand as we walked, and for once I did not pull away, mostly because whatever was happening now felt bigger than the argument we still owed each other.
The study door was solid oak, old fashioned, the kind installed a century ago when doors were built to survive fires and small wars. Tomas, who had insisted on driving separately with what he called, without a hint of irony, his emergency kit, examined the lock for exactly four seconds before shouldering it open with a grunt that suggested this was not the first stubborn door he had ever met.
