He Begged Me to Stay After I Stopped Loving Him

Because the one that got away had declared, "I won't be a homewrecker!"

My husband, who had never once spent the night at home, finally came back.

Morton Harding did the unthinkable: he celebrated my birthday with me. He picked me up from work every day. He even stayed up all night nursing me through a fever.

And for our third wedding anniversary, he actually cooked me an entire dinner himself.

When he set the anniversary gift in front of me, the heart that had loved him for seven years finally stopped beating.

I slid the divorce papers I'd prepared long ago across the table.
