Involved

When Cara walked in she didn’t seem to notice Trevor lying in the bed, sprouting wires and tubes everywhere. She hugged me and began sobbing.

“He left me,” Cara said. “I didn’t think he would.”

I smelled booze on her breath.

“Cara, what did you do?” I asked, knowing the answer.

She ignored the question. “My husband left me. He’ll be back. He can’t live without me.”

I thought that though they’d shared the same house, he’d been living without her for some time.

Today I’ll stay involved in the lives of loved ones.
