The story
After losing her babies, Wendy is offered the usual compensation by her husband, Colin Fraser: jewelry, shares, or land. This time she slides a document toward him, and he signs it without looking, certain she is only after money. Their son, Simon Fraser, echoes the household's belief that money is all she cares about, praising Ava Levine, who says love cannot be bought. The signed paper is not a business contract but a divorce agreement.
Wendy has already resolved to leave, yet she cannot let go of the child she raised. Simon pushes her away, demanding she stop clinging to his father, and Colin dismisses her calm as a tantrum. He then takes Ava to the parent-child sports day in Wendy's place, where strangers mistake the three of them for a happy family.
Back in the home she once called a gilded cage, Wendy packs an old suitcase and sells the gifts she wore like armor, while a dusty toy robot from Simon's babyhood stirs memories of a love that has faded. Then Chloe Monroe appears at the door, accusing her of putting on a show.
Opening
The day after I lose my babies, my husband, Colin Fraser, tries to make it up to me with money, like he always does.
"What's it going to be this time?" he asks. "Jewelry, company shares, or that plot of land in Easton?"
I simply shake my head and slide the document from my nightstand toward him. As casually as he's signed countless checks before, Colin signs it without even looking.
When he glances up and sees how calm I am, he lets out a soft laugh.
"I thought you'd ask me to stay and keep you company," he says, shaking his head.
