She was curled up on their bed
Her face was damp as was the part of the blanket where her head rested
She had lost it all.
All of her sweat, tears, energy that she put into it was gone.
He had sex with her partner's, her best friend's, daughter.
We sat on the navy blue carpet in front of the floral couch.
I can still remember how close I was to Jake and Sarah in that moment.
"I cheated on your mom with Judy. I may be going away for a while."
We did moan as my mother had when she lost her world for the millionth time.
We quietly cried our tears and sat in silence, listening.
