One time, a brick fell from the sky and hit him on the head, causing a gash. But even then, he happily told me over the phone.
"What luck! I earned an extra 200 dollars for my wife today. I had the foreman transfer the money directly to your account. Once you receive it, treat yourself to a nice meal. Don't save money, got it?"
Back to reality.
"Mommy, why are you crying?"
Inside our cozy apartment, momo's small hand gently touched my face.
I forced a smile and choked back my tears, saying, "Mommy is fine. Mommy just remembered some very happy memories."
But memories were just memories; they didn't hold any power.
This is the first house that Harris and I owned together.
The house title was in my name only.
Two days ago, after moving here with momo, I officially hired a divorce lawyer to handle the divorce proceedings for me.
Just as I was thinking that Harris should have received the divorce agreement by now, he happened to call.
Harris angrily questioned me, "Sarah, where did you take momo?"
"Don't worry, she is safe with me. If you want to see her, make an appointment with me one day in advance."
