Chapter 16 - The House Derek Tried to Win
Hannah moved into the house.
The same house.
That detail mattered.
For years it had represented the fight.
Equity.
Divorce.
Betrayal.
Now it became something painfully ordinary again.
Groceries.
Laundry.
Burned toast.
Arguments about thermostats, which was particularly insulting considering my profession.
One night Hannah said, “This place doesn’t feel haunted.”
“It used to.”
“What changed?”
I thought.
“People.”
She nodded.
Homes aren’t walls.
Neither are marriages.
Neither are lives.

The house Derek once demanded I fight for became valuable only after I stopped treating it like something that proved I had won.
