Warm.
The version of him I had not heard directed at me in a very long time.
“She’s driving me crazy,” he said. “Always asking when I’m coming home, sending baby pictures, checking up on me. I just want her to leave me alone.”
My fingers went cold around the phone.
The woman said something I couldn’t understand.

Then came the sentence that ended my marriage before either of us had signed a single document.
“I can barely stand being around her anymore.”
He continued.
He said he didn’t want me.
He said he planned to divorce me.
Then he promised the other woman that once the timing was right, he would marry her.
Finally, I heard them kiss.
