If the Ring Fits
“After she picked up the twins from school, they’d stop at the store. Shopping with three little kids wasn’t her idea of fun, but it couldn’t be helped. The cupboards were almost bare. By the time she got home it would be time to start dinner.
Then Travis would be home.
Normally she couldn’t wait for him to walk through the door. But right now she wasn’t sure what she would say, how she was going to act.
The child in her wanted to slam the door in his face and tell him she never wanted to see hi...m again. The adult in her knew that wouldn’t solve anything.
Mary Karen slipped the key into the ignition and as she bent over, she caught a glimpse of her twenty-six-year-old face in the rearview mirror.
Passably pretty.
A dutiful daughter.
A loyal friend.
A mother who tried her best.
All she wanted was a husband she loved and who loved her back.
She could see now that she’d never have had that kind of life with Steven. His violent outbursts. The verbal abuse. Best friends?
Soul mates?MoreLess
