I loved the sound of my husband's laugh through the phone before I understood what it meant.
It was a Wednesday. The kitchen smelled like reheated pasta. I was folding dish towels at the counter when his phone lit up on the marble, the name "Sarah - Work" glowing blue in the November dusk. He was in the shower. The water had been running for twenty-three minutes—I'd noticed because the mirror in our bedroom had fogged completely, something that only happened when he stayed in longer than usual, when something at work had gone badly or when he was thinking too hard about something he wouldn't name.
The phone rang three times before I picked it up. I told myself I was being helpful.
"Hey babe, did you send me that revised—" Her voice stopped. The silence lasted exactly long enough for me to hear my own heartbeat. "Oh. Sorry. I thought—is this—"
"This is his wife," I said. My voice sounded calm. I was proud of that.
"I'm so sorry, I—wrong person. I meant to call—" The line went dead.
