After My Miscarriage, My Husband Locked Me Out novel · Chapter 13 of 24

Chapter 13: Out

Nobody moved for a long moment.

Then the man in the navy coat took his wife's elbow and walked her to the door.

She stopped beside me.

"I'm sorry about all this," she said quietly. "Good luck with your house."

I thanked her.

It was the only kind thing anyone had said to me in that room in two weeks, and she was a stranger who had come to buy it.

Chandler watched them go.

"Hannah, don't do this in front of people."

"You did it in front of people. I'm only finishing."

"I live here."

"You did," I said. "You live somewhere else now."

The two neighbors had their phones out.

Nobody was pretending anymore.

His boss picked his coat off the back of a chair and put it on, one arm at a time.

"Chandler," he said. "My office. Monday at eight."

"Sir, I can explain."

"I'm sure you can. Monday."

He nodded to me, and he left.

The title agent packed her laptop with great speed and gave me a card on the way out.

That left the family.

Gwendolyn stood up from the table.

She smoothed her cardigan, and she crossed the rug that was not my grandmother's rug, and she looked at me with the soft sympathy gone out of her face.

"You ungrateful girl," she said. "He gave you four years."

"He gave me a mortgage statement to hand to him."
