The Opened Box That Shattered My Seven-Year Marriage

My hands were shaking when I found the box of condoms in Cole Fox's bag.

Seven years of marriage. Three of those spent sleeping in separate rooms.

My mother-in-law said I was being paranoid. Laurel Fox rolled her eyes. "My brother works overtime every single day. When would he even have time to cheat? Are you okay?"

Cole stood off to the side and said nothing.

I didn't make a scene.

That night I packed my bags. The next morning I slapped the divorce papers down on his desk.

He stared. "Over a box of condoms? I told you, a coworker left them in my car."
