It’s very unusual for my dad to call me first thing in the morning, but today seems to be an exception. I don’t know what got Into him.

“How’s your husband this morning?” he says, straining his voice little.

“He’s alright. He’s already left for work.”

“Not at all. Why would you think something’s wrong?”

I wish I could change bedrooms, but that might make it obvious to him that something is up with me. I still don’t want him to know that I remember certain things.

All dressed up, I head down stairs so I can have my breakfast. I’ve never sat at the dining table early in the morning to have a meal.

The best part about this is that he’s already gone for work, so I don’t have to run into him.
