ANNA SOMETIMES WONDERED IF Stephen ever thought of her. Has he forgotten me entirely? Do I ever invade his thoughts? Like a song he can’t shake from his head? This line of questioning never did her any good. She avoided it most of the time.

But when she couldn’t, she settled on believing that months ago he realized he’d made a terrible mistake but was too timid, too embarrassed, or too frightened to come back to her. It’s possible, Anna reasoned. She understood that insurmountable feeling of being penned in, captured and unable to act. Anna had lived in the house of her own inevitability for years. Maybe Stephen had as well. Anna made a choice to believe that this was the reason he’d never called or written.

She knew better, of course. But there were times when she forgot that she knew better and she forgot that she was pretending.
