We were at Disney with our kids — day two of what was supposed to be a perfect 7-day family trip. Her parents had been talking about this moment for years, promising to take us all when the kids turned seven. And finally, it happened.
By then, we had been together for over a decade. A stable life, a good job, a home, kids — everything felt complete. It really felt like we had it all.
That night, I picked up her phone just to set an alarm.
And then I saw the messages.
There were so many of them.
