Part 2:<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n

I engaged the heavy brass security chain before turning the new deadbolt.<\/em><\/p>\n

The door cracked open three inches, revealing two uniformed officers standing on my pristine welcome mat.<\/em><\/p>\n

One was a seasoned veteran with a graying mustache; the other, a fresh-faced rookie.<\/em><\/p>\n

Both wore expressions of practiced, neutral severity.<\/em><\/p>\n

The older officer tipped the brim of his uniform hat.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cGood morning, ma\u2019am.<\/em><\/p>\n

Are you Olivia Bennett?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cI am.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

He shared a fleeting, unreadable glance with his young partner.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cMrs. Bennett, we caught a dispatch call early this morning.<\/em><\/p>\n

A complaint filed by your husband.<\/em><\/p>\n

We need to step inside and ask you a few questions.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

I didn\u2019t flinch.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m Officer Daniels,\u201d the older cop said, holding up his badge.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cThis is Officer Ruiz.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

I slid the chain free and pulled the heavy oak door wide.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cPlease, gentlemen.<\/em><\/p>\n

Come in.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

As they stepped across the threshold, their trained eyes swept the entryway.<\/em><\/p>\n

I watched them clock the freshly milled metal of the new deadbolt lock, the immaculate hardwood, and the faint, lingering aroma of the locksmith\u2019s graphite spray.<\/em><\/p>\n

I guided them into the formal living room.<\/em><\/p>\n

Morning sunlight cascaded through the bay windows, illuminating the rich oak floors that Ethan and I had painstakingly refinished by hand fifteen years ago.<\/em><\/p>\n

A phantom memory of him laughing, accidentally smearing dark walnut stain across his denim jeans, flickered in my mind\u2019s eye.<\/em><\/p>\n

I extinguished the memory instantly.<\/em><\/p>\n

Officer Daniels remained standing, his posture rigid.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ll get straight to the point, ma\u2019am.<\/em><\/p>\n

Your husband\u2026\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cYour husband didn\u2019t just call us to complain about the money. He called because right after his cards were declined, he and his\u2026 companion\u2026 were kicked out of their luxury resort. They tried to find a cheaper motel, got into an altercation with some local vendors, and Ethan ended up getting detained by the local authorities for trying to flee a taxi without paying. He\u2019s terrified, he\u2019s broke, and he wanted us to pressure you into fixing it.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

A small, slow smile crept onto my face. It wasn\u2019t a smile of joy; it was the cold satisfaction of a trap snapping shut.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cThen it sounds like Ethan is exactly where he chooses to be,\u201d I said softly. \u201cHe wanted a life without me. He just forgot that my bank account was included in the package.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Daniels nodded slowly, tipping his hat. \u201cWe\u2019ll log this as a welfare check with no further action required. Have a good day, Mrs. Bennett.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cThank you, officers. Have a safe shift.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

As the heavy oak door clicked shut and the new deadbolt slid into place, I walked back to the kitchen. I poured myself a fresh cup of black coffee, sat down at the island, and dialed my divorce attorney\u2019s emergency cell line.<\/em><\/p>\n
