Where Love Lies Buried

Summary

The day I found out Liam was cheating again, I let out a long, slow sigh of relief.

This was the latest in a long, unbroken line of betrayals, and always with the same woman.

Over the phone, his breaths were shallow and quick as he claimed to be in a meeting.

I stretched languidly, gazing out the window at the endless night, and hung up.

I thought of the vow we’d made so long ago: If I ever betray you, may I die a horrible death.

A shame no one ever actually dies from it. But the betrayal is always real.

I drafted the divorce papers. This broken, rotten marriage was over.
