Jade reached out and turned off the 5:00 a.m. alarm before it could
ring. She hadn’t been sleeping; she rarely did anymore. Instead, she dragged
herself out of bed and started her morning routine. Fifteen minutes of strength
training, thirty minutes on the treadmill—her daughter’s name echoing in her
head with every step—and a final fifteen minutes of yoga, practiced for

Ten minutes later, two minivans pulled into the parking lot. Ashley and
Naomi always walked on Wednesday mornings. They were both young,
pretty. Trophy wives, she thought dispassionately as she watched them pull
