Three Weeks Later
Three weeks later, I made a single phone call.
It was a short conversation with the financial partner who had originally helped Richard secure funding for his clinic.
Up until that moment, I had personally guaranteed the clinic’s operating credit line through my company.
After our separation, that guarantee ended.
Without it, the clinic’s financial structure unraveled almost immediately.
Richard lost the business within two months.
Alexis disappeared not long after.
I never saw either of them again.
But sometimes, when I pass the coffee table Richard and I restored during the first year of our marriage, I still think about the afternoon when a stranger rang my doorbell and unknowingly revealed everything I needed to understand about my own life.
