I came home from work that fateful Friday to find a note, from my wife, on my pillow.
"Tommy: I'm sorry but I can't do this anymore. Us. I have to go find myself. -Elizabeth"
Okay, so maybe that was paraphrased a bit. But you get the idea. I sat on our bed, and looked around. She didn't even take all her things. We'd been married five years, and now she was gone in the wind, without a warning.
I can't say I didn't expect it. Maybe I always knew this day was coming. I sighed.
"Daddy? Where'd Mom go?" came my daughter's voice from out in the hallway, nervous and worried. Jesus. My step-daughter, Elizabeth's only child. Laila. Just recently turned 18, but not even close to really being an adult. I'd watched her grow into an amazing young woman over the past five years, even though she held on to so many childish things.
Poor kid. She'd be growing up in a hurry. "Laila... Come here, doll," I called out. I was exhausted. I'd spent all day at work, busting my ass. I'm a construction worker, a welder. We're building a new power plant. There's a lot of welding, a lot of overtime.
This new development would mean a lot of changes for the both of us...
