Mrs. Perfect
“He doesn’t answer. I hang up furious and frustrated. But only seconds after hanging up, I dial again. “Nathan, we love you and miss you. Hope you can come home for a visit soon. I know the girls would love to have you watch them play in another game before the season ends.”
I hang up once more. This time I bury my face in my hands and rage silently.
Maybe I did spend too much. Maybe I wasn’t listening closely enough. But I didn’t lie to him. I’ve never lied to him. He has no right punishing me ...like this.
He was the one who lied to me for over six months.
He was the one pretending to go to work even though he had no job. So where did he go for all those months? What did he do? Play golf? Internet solitaire? Gamble at Diamond Lil’s?
Yet as angry as I am, I know I can’t blame him, and I can’t give up. I won’t lose this house. I won’t have my children embarrassed. I won’t let us become a source of gossip and laughter for the neighbors.
Pulling my hair back into a ponytail, I take a deep breath and open the Word file containing my résumé.MoreLess
