Summary
The Instagram post hit my feed with the quiet violence of a car crash. A picture, and a caption.
Best boss ever! Thanks for the amazing birthday surprise, E! #workperks #bestbossever
The author was Maya, my husband's assistant. The photo was of her and Ethan, my husband, beaming at a small, candlelit table.
Today was Maya's birthday. It was also mine.
I had asked Ethan, begged him, to clear his schedule. Just for one night. To celebrate with me.
He told me he was busy. Swamped.
I stared at the post, timestamped 1 minute ago, and dialed his number.
