this meant for me and any future we might possibly have.

For several days afterwards I pretended everything was like normal but clearly in my heart and mind it clearly wasn’t. How could it be? I had just discovered that our marriage was based on lies, he had a past…and not just any past a dark past that involved a child. A child I knew nothing about. Perhaps this dark mystery would shed some light on the way he behaved towards me. Perhaps we could move forward together if those old wounds of his were healed? Perhaps our marriage could be more harmonious if we both could speak freely rather than keep important secrets like this from each other.

When my husband went to work as usual, I decided to head to the local library before heading to my usual weekly shopping trip.
