On our last evening, Cris disappeared again.
Our daughter went downstairs to meet some friends, leaving me alone in the hotel room.
Then I noticed Cris’s suitcase.

For twenty years, I had trusted Cris. I had built my life around the belief that we would face everything together.

“Your husband is waiting for you on the beach,” he said.
