Story

The story

Three years into an affair, a husband believes his marriage has reached a comfortable equilibrium. His wife Lily never checks on him, never questions his late nights, and his friends call her low-maintenance. He is sure she knows about the other woman, and he is sure neither of them needs to say a word.

Then one morning Lily slides a divorce agreement beneath his coffee mug. She wants nothing: the house and custody of their son Henry go to him, with fixed child support and outlined visitation. She has already signed. As he scrambles to argue that their family cannot be dismantled into line items, Henry chooses to live with his father, and Lily quietly unclips her house key.

She is moving out next Monday, and she has met someone she likes too.

Opening excerpt

Three years into my affair, my marriage was running smoother than it ever had.

When I wasn't home, my wife never checked in on me.

I could leave my phone on the kitchen counter, and she wouldn't glance at it.

If I came in late, she even left the porch light on.

My friends were genuinely envious.

"Man, your wife is so low-maintenance."

I thought so too.

She knew about the woman on the side.

I knew that she knew.
