The Husband I Did Not Forgive

He called his ex the love of his life at our anniversary gala. I was standing six feet away.

At Mara Vale's tenth-anniversary gala, her husband crosses the ballroom to comfort his former fiancee while every camera is rolling. By morning, Mara has found the second phone, nine months of intimate lies, and a voice memo recorded while she was losing their baby. Julian wants to become a man worthy of forgiveness. Mara intends to learn whether forgiveness can exist without giving him back the marriage he broke.
