After Susan and Lucas left, the house stood empty. The clamor’s aftermath hung oppressively. I surveyed the familiar space—sofa, table, our photos on walls—all tainted. No hesitation. I marched to the bedroom, hauled out the largest suitcase, and mechanically stuffed it with my clothes, toiletries, vital documents, laptop... I touched nothing of Mark’s. His presence choked me.
Departure
The suitcase wheels rumbled over hardwood. I dragged it through the silent living room. Glancing at the forged report on the counter, I left it—deserving no place. One last sweep of this former "home," then I turned resolutely to the door. Opened it. Stepped out. Closed it firmly behind me. A soft click severed eight years. Sunlight stung my eyes.
Meeting the Lawyer
I stood roadside, suitcase beside me, hailing a cab. Never looked back. My heart lay in ruins, yet strangely, beneath the rubble, breathed unprecedented lightness. The eight-year weight had lifted, exposing a grim truth. A taxi pulled up. I loaded my bag, slid inside. "Downtown, 150 Main Street, Miller Law Firm," I directed. As we merged into traffic, I leaned back, closing my eyes. Rage lingered, pain throbbed—but one thought blazed clear: End the lies. Begin the reckoning. For myself. For the boy named Lucas.
