The story
Three days after her daughter Lily is born by C-section, Claire's husband Ryan leaves the apartment to buy groceries and never returns. He calls from the airport: he is taking his parents on a long-promised beach vacation, and he has sent her five hundred dollars to order food. His parents had promised to help with her postpartum recovery, so her own mother stayed away. Worse, Ryan's "girl best friend" Mia is with them, laughing beside him.
Scrolling Ryan's synced messages, Claire learns the trip was planned for months: Mia told him to wait until the baby was born, when Claire would be too weak to stop them. His mother mocks her as a nursemaid. Claire screenshots everything, then calls her mother, who is out of state and books the next flight.
Alone with a newborn and unhealed stitches, Claire sends Ryan a message: come home tonight, or they are getting a divorce. He posts a beach photo captioned with the taste of freedom, and calls her petty. Her father's warning returns to her: the house is in her name alone, and time would tell.
Opening
On the third day after our daughter was born, my husband, Ryan, said he was running downstairs to grab some groceries and get a breath of fresh air.
I lay in bed, my C-section incision throbbing with a dull, relentless ache.
I waited for three hours. Ryan never came back.
I dialed his number.
"Hey, where are you?"
"Babe, listen, I need to tell you something. Don't be mad."
His voice was muffled by a lot of background noise.
"My parents are getting older, and they’ve never really been on a real vacation. I actually have some time off right now, so I’m taking them on a trip."
