Love Wasn't Enough

Alexander didn't cheat.
He just gave someone else
his attention, his laughter,
and the smiles that used to belong to his wife.

And she watched him drift, not to another woman's bed, but to her presence.
Her laugh.

The way she made him feel seen in a room full of people.

Everything he found in someone else - Zara had been giving him all along.

Eight years of marriage.

One little boy who loved them both.

And Zara standing in the middle of it all -
wondering when she became
the woman he stopped choosing.

She warned him.

Three times.

The first - he dismissed her.

The second - he called her jealous.

The third - he called her insecure.

So she stopped warning him altogether.
And stopped waiting.

Love wasn't enough... and now it might be too late.
