Sunday Snippet – From It Won’t Happen Again

Martha searched her memories. It was true, in that split moment she wanted Thomas to die, but that ended when the diary was replaced in its hiding place.  The answer was too painful to say out loud. ‘No comment.’ ‘And on another occasion when you found out about your husband’s infidelity Oh, he expects meContinue reading “Sunday Snippet – From It Won’t Happen Again”
