I Left My Wedding Ring Outside His Office

It was the third month after Leo and I got our marriage license at City Hall.

He was working late more and more often. I didn’t think much of it.

Until that day, when I decided to surprise him by bringing lunch to his office.

The receptionist smiled at me. "Mr. Osman is in the conference room, Liz. You can wait here."

The conference room door was slightly ajar.

There was no meeting inside. Only Leo and a woman sitting opposite each other.

She was crying. The way he handed her a tissue—gentle, slow—was exactly the way he used to comfort me.
