Lena nodded. “Our calls consist of him crying.” “Do you think he’ll come back?” “Do you want him back?” “I don’t know.” Lena put her hand on my thigh, and I put my hand on top of hers. In another life, she would have been my wife. In this life, I should have pushed her hand away, saved her from me. I let her touch linger.
