Lyra
“Well, here we fucking are, Brody,” I mutter to my beloved dog as I
take in our new house. The moving truck just pulled away, and
now I don’t know where to begin. Officially making the move
today has my situation finally feeling painfully real, and my eyes begin to
sting as everything that’s happened over the past month hits me like a
freight train. The empty mess of boxes I’m looking at perfectly echoes how
simultaneously empty and chaotic my brain is right now. So I do the only
sane thing, which is drop to my knees and throw my arms around Brody’s
furry body.
The tears fall freely, and he softly whines, digging his wet nose
into my neck. My soon to be ex-husband Derek was magnanimous enough
to let me keep him, and it was the absolute least he could do all things
considered. His new girlfriend Kayla is apparently allergic, though even if
he wanted to keep Brody there was no way in hell that was happening.
“It’s just you and me now, buddy,” I whisper thickly to him. His black
fur is soft, warm, and comforting as I stroke his back and lean my head on
his. He turns to look at me dead on with so much concern and confusion in
his intelligent, golden eyes.
Humans don’t deserve dogs, especially German
Shepherds. His life has been upended too, all because I’m a living cliché.
I’m a 36 year old woman blindsided by her soon to be ex-husband, who so
wonderfully told her he wanted a divorce because he found someone new.
Since that day just over a month ago, I have wracked my brain to try to
figure out how I missed it. Am I so caught up in my work that I was
completely oblivious to Derek being unhappy? We met 9 years ago, and
were married for what I thought were 6 happy years.
We had dinner together most nights, checked in with each other
throughout our workdays, had sex pretty regularly, and were getting along
in my mind. Looking back, there were signs. I even questioned him about
them, but he denied anything. Since I have the firm belief that a wife should
trust her husband, even though none of my life experience has shown me a
trustworthy man, I let it go. Stupid, stupid, naive me for trusting him instead
of my instincts. Luckily, I never even took his last name because I wanted
to stay known as Lyra Spinelli at work.
I’ll never forget the night Derek came home and served me the papers.
He came in after his trip to the gym like always. I had just finished my last
meeting for the day not much earlier, and threw a quick casserole together
for dinner. It was like any other weeknight. His expression brought me up
short before anything else. There was a folder in his hands.
“Lyra, we need to sit down and talk,” he said, more solemn and serious
than I had ever seen him.
