Send me the schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I typed back with one hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ava and Mia awake. Zoe sleeping. Bring coffee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Her reply came immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019ll be there at seven. Hang in there, Layla.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I put down the phone and stared at the ceiling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Four years of marriage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Three newborn daughters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And one husband somewhere over the Pacific Ocean carrying a suitcase full of vacation clothes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I kept trying to understand how the man who had abandoned us could possibly be the same man who had cried at our first ultrasound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Eric had been ecstatic when the technician told us there were three babies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cTriplets?\u201d he had said, gripping my hand. \u201cThree girls? I\u2019m going to be the best dad in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I believed him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That was the hardest part.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Eric had talked about wanting a big family almost from the beginning of our relationship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He grew up as an only child and always complained that his childhood home had been too quiet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cA real house should sound alive,\u201d he liked to say.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When we learned we were having three girls, he bought matching purple onesies before I had even reached my second trimester.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sister 1. Sister 2. Sister 3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He showed them to practically everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But there were things I ignored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Eric never opened any of the parenting books I bought.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When the cribs arrived, he bragged to his friends that he was \u201cbuilding the nursery.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then he disappeared to the driving range with his friend Luke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I assembled all three cribs myself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Naomi noticed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She noticed everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One evening, while helping me clean the kitchen, she said,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cEric loves the excitement of something, Layla.

Day or night.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Her expression became serious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cEspecially if Eric disappears into himself.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I laughed awkwardly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHe\u2019s not going anywhere. He\u2019s more excited than anyone.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Deborah squeezed my arm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She didn\u2019t answer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I forgot that conversation until months later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Until I was sitting on the nursery floor at three in the morning, alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ava started crying again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I picked her up and held her against my chest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cDaddy loves you,\u201d I whispered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The words sounded less like reassurance and more like something I was desperately trying to convince myself was true.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I didn\u2019t know yet what Eric had been posting online while I sat there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first real crack appeared during labor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The delivery room was hot, crowded, and filled with the constant beeping of monitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I was exhausted and terrified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Eric stood beside me complaining about the temperature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIs it always this warm in here?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another contraction hit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cEric, can you get me some ice?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIn a minute.

entire house was filled with the sound of three newborns crying at once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I stared at the closed front door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fourteen days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I didn\u2019t know how I was going to survive fourteen days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The third night nearly broke me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All three girls were crying at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I ended up sitting on the kitchen floor with a bottle beside me, crying harder than any of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At two in the morning, I called Naomi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I could barely speak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She didn\u2019t ask questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019m coming.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p

schedules, labeled bottles, and a shared spreadsheet on my phone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It sounded ridiculously simple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It saved me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Naomi came whenever she could.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But she still had work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most of the sleepless nights and endless feedings remained mine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And Eric?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He hadn\u2019t called once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p

his number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hey, are you covering your part of last night\u2019s bar bill on the kid-free Finsta, or are you still hiding that account from the wife?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I read it three times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When Naomi came over after work, I showed her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p

class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That led to another private profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Naomi created a burner account and requested to follow it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By evening, we were looking at more than a year of Eric\u2019s hidden posts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There were poolside pictures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bar videos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Photos of Eric taking shots with Luke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Captions joking about being in the \u201ckid-free zone.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Videos where Eric laughed that his wife could handle the chaos at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then I found a Cabo photograph posted three days after he left us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Escape complete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I stared at the words.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There was nothing about struggling emotionally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nothing about needing rest so he could become a better father.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nothing about missing his daughters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Naomi sat beside me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p
