The Note I Was Never Meant to Read
After thirty-five years of marriage, life with Ron had settled into something quiet and habitual, a rhythm so familiar it almost felt invisible. We existed side by side like two planets locked in the same orbit—close enough to feel each other’s presence, distant enough to avoid disruption.
