Routine Escape
I immersed myself in my daily routine, desperate for distraction. Washing dishes, folding laundry—anything to keep my hands busy and my thoughts anchored in the present. Sometimes it worked. But more often, I’d catch myself frozen, staring blankly as memories surged uninvited. With a shake of my head, I’d force myself to refocus and press on, determined not to dwell on what else Mark might discover out there.

Friends to the Rescue
Sarah and Jennifer became my lifelines during that difficult time, checking in every day to make sure I was holding on. Sarah often dropped by unannounced, coffee in hand, filling the silence with her lively chatter in an effort to brighten my mood. Jennifer took a gentler approach, sending sweet texts and cheerful memes that brought small moments of comfort. I didn’t say much, but their constant care reminded me I wasn’t alone. Together, they helped piece me back together, keeping me afloat through the storm.
