“You said yourself that marriage is just a piece of paper.”
Marriage
He looked at me.
And for the first time, he couldn’t find an answer.

SupportCauses
I felt my cheeks burning.
But I didn’t cry.
Office supplies
I didn’t raise my voice.
I just smiled and said,
“You’re right. A piece of paper doesn’t change anything.”
Michael looked at me with satisfaction.
He thought he had won.
When we got home, he went straight to the bedroom and fell asleep after a few minutes.
