I wasn’t even looking for anything when I found it. That’s the part that kills me. I was in the attic, pulling down some old boxes because my mom was coming to stay with us for a while. I just needed a place to stash her stuff. So, there I was, sweating like hell because it was one of those sticky summer days, trying to move things around in our cluttered attic. And then I saw it. A small, dusty wooden box tucked away in the corner. I swear, I’d never seen it before. I mean, we’ve lived here for ten years—ten freaking years—and I thought I knew every inch of this house. But this? This was different. Like it had been hiding. I pulled it down, thinking it was some forgotten wedding memorabilia or something. You know, old photos, letters, cr*p like that. But when I opened it, the air felt like it stopped. Letters. Handwritten letters. Not from me. Not to me. They were addressed to a woman I’d never heard of. There were dates, too—long before we met. Long before I thought I was part of his life. And under the letters? Photos. Photos of kids. Two of them. A boy and a girl. I couldn’t breathe. My chest was heavy, like someone was sitting on it. Who the hell were they? Why were they in a box in our attic? Why hadn’t he ever mentioned them? I wanted to throw the box across the room, smash it into pieces, but I couldn’t move. My mind was racing. What if… what if my husband had a life before me? What if he had kids? What else was he hiding? I didn’t touch the box after that. I just left it on the attic floor and went downstairs, numb. When he got home that night, I couldn’t even look him in the eyes.
