“What do you think Ken’s net worth is?” Adam and I were in the study. I wrapped gifts; he sorted through the piles of paper we accumulated like dirty dishes.

“Are you thinking of asking him for money?”

“Why would I do that? I was just—”

“Look, money will never be a problem. Whatever happens, I’m not going to let the kids or you do without.”

You read words like speechless and dumbfounded, but you never know the meaning until your husband says something so much like a roundhouse punch, that you lose your hold. Suddenly Ken’s ten thousand dollars seemed important.

Adam kept sorting papers.

“I didn’t ask because of anything to do with us and money. We aren’t talking about that. I know we’re in trouble, but we’re not talking about that.” Agree with me. Please.

Adam rolled his chair around to face me. “I’ll stay for the holidays. For the kids.”

I gripped the edge of my desk, feeling the groove of warm wood. “This isn’t a good time to try to decide. We’re too raw.”

He raked his fingers through his hair. “My insides are torn. I keep picturing you with him, and I can’t take it. I can’t look at you.”

I knelt before him and placed my hands on his knees. “Don’t make rash decisions.” I put my head in his lap. He pushed stray strands from my face. I crawled into his lap and rested my head on his shoulder. As our tears fell, he tore down the neck of my sweater. I slipped it off, impatient to feel him on bare skin, the scratch of his midnight beard.

Adam fumbled open the button on my jeans, pushed me to my feet, and stripped the heavy denim to my knees. I threw them on the floor. He pulled me on top of him.

My mouth pressed into his, as I cradled his head with two hands. He twisted his head away as he came in deep angry groans.

We stayed entangled until, without a word, he put two hands on my upper arms and lifted me off his lap. Then he stood, dressed, and left the room.
