Abstract

I pushed the stroller into the real estate office.

The agent asked, her tone a flat, routine formality: "Selling the marital home—does your husband agree to this?"

In the stroller, my daughter erupted into a sudden, piercing wail.

With practiced ease, I scooped her up with my left arm, steadying her against my chest, and signed the contract with my right. My signature was shaky, a jagged line. My wrist had been throbbing with tendonitis for a solid month now.

"I’m widowed," I said.

The man named Devin was still very much alive.
