by KatieP, in category Heart | Love & Romance

I’ve come up with my own reasons why Mr Smith’s kind of marriage isn’t for me.

On my left wrist, scratched into my skin is a red heart with angels wings. It reminds me of my birthday three years ago when Shelley and I sat under the needle at The Illustrated Man and got our tattoos. It was the last birthday I spent with my husband.
