I Died The Day He Chose Her

Summary

Elias always said I had become "tamed" since our last explosive fight.

I stopped calling him a dozen times a day to track his whereabouts and no longer begged him to come home early when he traveled. Even when I found a strange lipstick smudge in his jacket pocket, I never asked a single question.

This morning, before he left for the office, he was clingier than usual, insisting I personally fix his tie. Before he walked out, he sent me a bank transfer with a note:

"Sweetheart, I know you have that hospital appointment today. Keep this. Spend the rest on whatever you want."
