Margaret’s marriage was in danger – she discovered her husband owned two cell phones. Wanting to save her marriage and protect her family for her beloved daughters, she will lead a tough fight.
The shrill alarm cut through the silence of dawn and Margaret’s hand reached out to silence it. Getting out of bed, she quickly freshens up and goes to the kitchen.
As she went about her morning routine, Margaret could hear the coffee machine making a soft whistling sound. It was nice, especially in the quiet of the early morning.
Margaret prepared lunches efficiently: a peanut butter and jelly sandwich cut into neat triangles for Lisa, sliced apples and peeled oranges for Rosa, and a chicken sandwich for Tom. She used to love doing these things, but now they seemed empty to her. She and Tom weren’t as close as they used to be.
