Without Reason, and Without A Care.

"I'm sorry Ana, but I want out." The last thing he said to me. The divorce papers were there in his hands. His signature and an empty space for mine. My jaw hit the ground and my eyes were starting to burn. It felt like I had been struck under an oncoming wave. After eleven years of marriage he just wanted out. I didn't know if there was another person. Maybe it was his super ego chiming in. He had always been working day and night. We still made time for us and I could just let him leave me like this. We had bills to pay, a life ahead of us...a child on the way. I asked him if there was anything I could do to change his mind. He told me this before he left..

"Ana, see to it that our child has a good life."

As he walked away I could feel our baby kicking. I wonder If he/she knew what was going on. Probably not but it is good to assume that I'm not alone on wanting him to stay. I was completely and utterly alone. Weeks went by and I still hadn't heard from him. I wondered if he had just moved on already. I wanted to call/message him but my conscious stopped me. Maybe he will come back tomorrow, maybe.
