Replaced On Her Heart's Leaderboard

Summary

In the fifth year of my marriage to Ruby, I suddenly began to see the leaderboards in everyone’s minds.

On my mother’s leaderboard, I was number one. On my best friend’s, I was number two—right behind his newborn son.

Even the owner of the bagel shop downstairs ranked me sixth.

Heart full of warmth, I looked at Ruby’s.

Number one: her mother. Number two: Darren.

It was me! I was second. I smiled for an entire day.

Until my eyes drifted down to number six: Oliver.

A name I had never heard in my life.

I told myself it didn't matter. I was second; he was only sixth.
