I parked my car and stepped down with my things.
i strode into the house to see my husband and child lying down on the couch, watching a movie with a packet of pizza and ice cream.
They didn't notice my presence as they were so engrossed in whatever they were watching.
I cleared my throat and that's when I had an audience.

Her hair looks scattered and her clothes weren't in order. I didn't need a soothsayer to tell me that mom is having a great time in another man's arms. but that's the least of my worries anyways."Denisha why are you here at this ungodly hour. it's late and shouldn't you be at home with your husband and daughter?" she asks,I broke down in tears immediately she said that and she pulled me in for a hug."Shh" she cooed "It's okay""I'm here sweetie, you'll be fine" she said gently patting my back and I disenga
