But then, miraculously, I opened my eyes again and found myself back on the day Claire had her affair and miscarriage.
——
Whenever Claire went on a date with her lover, she told her husband, Edward Thompson, that I was asking for her help. She would come up with all sorts of excuses. Whether I needed emotional support after being caught as "the other woman," or getting in trouble with debt collectors, or even when I went to the hospital for a private procedure, she would lie and say she was by my side.
If it had not been for Edward, I would never have known how much of a tangle she'd got me into. He confronted me about my past life and was pretty angry, saying I'd done things I never did.
Now, I had been here again.
Edward’s angry voice was blasting through the phone once again. I smile bitterly.
