My husband brought home a stranger and asked me to let him stay just one night

When I got close

to the kitchen, I heard their voices.

 

 

I stopped.

 

Michael was talking first.

 

You shouldn’t have brought me here.

 

Where did you want me to take you? Answered Daniel. After twenty-five years you appear in front of me and you tell me that everything I was told was a lie.

 

I held my breath.

 

Your mother.s. had her reasons.

 

 

“Don’t defend her.

 

I’m not defending her.

 

A break followed.

 

Then Daniel said something that made me goosebumps:

 

All my life I thought you were dead.

 

I unwittingly took a step.

 

The floor squeaked.

 

The voices have stopped.

 

Daniel appeared in the kitchen door.

 

When he saw me, he understood immediately.

 

 

– You heard it.

 

Who was supposed to be dead?

 

Michael slowly gets up from the table.
