Three months later
NEW YORK WAS SHROUDED BY CLOUD COVER. I’VE ONLY
ever flown to Indianapolis via Chicago, so I was hoping to see the
infamous green void of Central Park bordered by skyscrapers, but
by the time the sky finally clears, all it reveals is a patchwork landscape of
fields and farms far below.

I’ve been traveling all day and it will be after 5 p.m. by the time I touch
down, which is ten o’clock at night back in the UK. I’m shattered, but
thankfully Dad is coming to collect me from the airport. I know that my
exhaustion is not entirely due to lack of sleep. The last three months have
taken their toll on me.

SCOTT WAS SITTING at the kitchen table when I arrived home from work
that day back in April, after a horrible afternoon of seesawing between
emotions. One minute I’d felt wildly unsettled and the next I’d convinced
myself that the look he and Nadine shared meant nothing. But as soon as I
saw Scott’s face, I knew that my intuition had served me correctly. There
was something going on between them, but it was an emotional connection,
rather than a physical affair.

He wanted to talk to me as soon as I walked through the front door,
which threw me as I was expecting to have to demand answers, not have
them dished up to me on a plate. And when he started to confess his
feelings, I still thought he planned to ask for my forgiveness—which I
know I would have granted. We were getting married in December and
were hoping to try for a baby in the new year. No way was I throwing away
our beautiful future just because he’d developed a silly crush.
Maybe I was being naive, but it took me a while to realize that he was
leaving me.

I remember the details of our conversation so clearly. I even remember
that his fingernails still had an arc of dirt buried deep, close to his skin, and
that he smelled earthy, of fresh air and garden soil. He was so familiar to me
and yet so like a stranger. I’d never seen him looking so torn and tormented.

“I do love you, Wren,” he claimed, tears clumping his brown lashes
together in spikes. “In some ways, I wish I’d never met her because I think
you and I could have been happy. But lately I’ve started to wonder if we’re
really right for each other.”

It had taken him meeting Nadine, working with her almost every day, to
recognize how well suited they were, how they clicked on another level.
At that point, they hadn’t even spoken to each other about how they felt.

Nadine had taken some time off to go and stay with her parents and Scott
had sensed it was because she wanted to get some distance from him to
clear her head. But when she came in to work that day in April and handed
in her resignation, he realized he couldn’t let her go.

I asked him, tearfully, if he thought she was his soul mate, and when he
met my eyes, his expression said it all.
