She was crying, saying, “I caught her with another man.” And I, with my stomach still completely empty of that soup, only asked: “Do you want to watch the video first?”

My husband called me a freeloader while I was cooking, my shirt still soaked with sweat from work. He said that starting tomorrow, everyone would pay their own way. I didn’t cry.
