“What was I actually saying yes to?”
Margaret glanced at our marriage certificate.
“That isn’t my story to tell.”
For a second, I wanted to demand an answer.
Then I remembered that the rest of Larry’s letter was still inside my purse.

He wanted me to see those records.
The hundreds of witness signatures.
Our marriage certificate.
The word spouse.
I left the courthouse and took the subway home.
But when the train reached Larry’s old station, I stepped off.
The woman at the coffee kiosk recognized me immediately.
“Two?”
For a second, I nearly said no.
Then I looked toward Larry’s empty place beside the station entrance.
“Yeah.”
She handed me my coffee with cream.
