When the light from one of the firefighter’s flashlights illuminates the space, the breath whooshes from my lungs.
My wife.
The one that left me.
I’d gone to work and done my job to the best of my ability before coming home. When I’d walked in the door, I knew something was wrong. It was the silence.
No radio playing, no TV on.
But I hadn’t realized it right then. It’d taken me a bit to put my finger on it. To figure out why things weren’t the same as they’d always been. I’d gone through the house calling her name, but when I went into the bathroom, I’d seen it.
All the stuff from her side of the sink was gone.
Then I’d headed to the closet.
Fucking empty.
No note, no explanation, and not a peep since the day she left.
Now here she is. In a wreck on the side of this mountain with a child. Glancing back, I do a double-take. Cam is holding the kid and he looks just like me.
“Liv, what the fuck did you get yourself into?”
Looking down, I realize I’m gonna have to wait for her to wake up in order to find out.
