When the water begins to run cold, I step out and just stand there dripping on the tile floor. I’m looking at myself in the mirror over the sink from afar. My right cheek is bruised, and my eyes are puffy and red. I tenderly touch my face. The bruises on my wrists look worse now that I see them next to my cheek, a vicious purple trio. As the wounds emerge, I gasp and take a few steps closer to the mirror. There’s a fresh cut bleeding amongst the scarring and bruising on my right cheek. He punched me with his left hand. His left fucking hand. “That lying bastard.” He was wearing a wedding ring and I hadn’t even noticed, because everything deteriorated so quickly into a nightmare. His. Wedding. Ring.

My shoulders rise in a sob, but nothing comes out. I’m cried out.

I skip clothes and walk into the bedroom and climb in under the sheet. I need to sleep.

For days I need to sleep.

Maybe I’ll wake up and realize this was only a nightmare. And when I wake up I’ll never talk to Michael again. Ever.

Sleep comes for me quickly, my mind taking pity on my body and shutting everything off.
