There are logical things to think about when you call your husband to
tell him your marriage is over, but the boy next door—a boy you
haven’t even seen in thirteen years—is not among them.
I could blame it on the fact that I’m back in Elliott Springs… that I’m at
the lake and standing on the same dock where Caleb once executed perfect
flips and dives. But that would imply I ever stopped thinking about him in
the first place, which I did not. Not entirely.
“How exactly do you think you’re going to leave me?” Jeremy asks.
“Your only skill is being hot, and you’ve barely got that anymore.”
It’s telling that he hasn’t mentioned our twins—asleep in the house just
past my shoulder—once during this conversation. He’s been too focused on
his outrage—first that I’d dare to accuse him of cheating, then that I
actually had proof and was doing something about it.

“No smart comeback?” Jeremy asks. “Oh, wait. You’d need to be smart
in the first place for that.”
I look over my shoulder at Caleb’s old house looming dark and lifeless
behind me. It sold years ago, so I’ll never get to see who he grew into—if
he became a man who cheats on his wife and then blames her. If he tells the
mother of his children that her only skill is being hot. I can’t imagine he
does, but I bet he didn’t marry someone like me. Someone who stands here
listening to it.
I hit the button to end the call and drop the phone in the pocket of my
robe. Jeremy will make me pay for that—hanging up on him—but I feel
like a different person here. The girl I used to be, with different fears and
different desires.

I’d just wanted one person to want me, back then. Perhaps I latched
onto the idea of Caleb simply because he was my opposite, surrounded by
people who adored him…but it felt like more. I’d been a dirty secret my
entire life, yet I was certain it would change—that I’d eventually be down
here by his side, jumping off the dock, trying to balance on an inner tube.
And now I’m back, over two decades later, and I’ve still never jumped
in the lake. In some ways, this is the first time in my life I’ve actually been
free.

So jump, says a voice in my head. A crazy, illogical voice. I’m a grown
woman with two children asleep inside. I don’t even have a towel. But
already I’m shedding my robe.
I bend my knees and spring off the balls of my feet.
This will be my clean break, my fresh start, and—
Fuck, fuck, fuck.

I’m gasping as I reach the water’s surface, flailing in my frantic attempt
to get to the ladder.
The water is so fucking cold, and if I’d hoped this would help, would
prove to be transcendent, I could not have been more wrong. I’m an idiot
