Despite everything, I always felt sorry for her. There was something about her that seemed out of place. She never liked working, but she spent money recklessly.
When Emily turned 25, she moved to New York City to live with her boyfriend. I waited until the last possible moment, but after a few years, I also had to move to the city. The lack of infrastructure and job opportunities in our small town left me no choice. If it weren’t for all that, I swear, I’d still be living in the countryside and feeling great. Now, Emily and I
Five years ago, an event shattered our lives into a ‘before’ and ‘after.’ Our eldest daughter left her first husband for another man, leading to a family rift that seems irreparable.
