Late Spring, Distant Ship, Broken Vows

The day I found out my boyfriend was cheating, I grabbed a kitchen knife and rushed over to the other woman's place. "Since you've betrayed me, then none of us gets to live," I said to them, smiling. It was my mom who threw herself in front of me, crying, begging me not to do anything rash. "You're my only daughter. If something happens to you, what am I supposed to do with the rest of my life?" Back in elementary school, my dad cheated. After the divorce, my mom raised me all on her own. She was the most important person to me. I couldn't let her worry.
