My name is Lauren and at thirty four years old I believed my nine year relationship and seven year
marriage to my husband Tucker was perfectly happy. That illusion ended on a Tuesday morning when he left for an important business trip and forgot his crucial blue presentation folder on our dining table. Wanting to help his career I drove to the airport to deliver the documents before his flight. When I spotted his familiar gray coat near the security checkpoint my heart sank because he was embracing another woman. He kissed her deeply and placed his hand affectionately on her visibly
pregnant stomach. I approached them with the folder and introduced myself as his wife which completely shocked the young woman named Emily. She revealed they had been together for eleven months and that she was six months pregnant explaining that Tucker had convinced her we were completely
divorced two years ago. I felt the floor drop out from under me as my husband admitted to everything right there in the busy terminal prioritizing his forgotten presentation over my broken heart.
