A Little Too Late

I wasn’t supposed to fall in love with the nanny.
When my wife
left, she took the illusion of happiness with her, and I’ve been caught
in a free fall ever since. For nine long months, I’ve been fighting to
figure out how to be a single dad, how to be alone.
For nine long months, I’ve been failing.
When
Hannah walked through the door, I took my first breath since I’d found
myself on my own. She slipped into our lives effortlessly, showing me
what I’ve been missing all these years. Because Hannah made me smile
when I thought I’d packed the notion of happiness away with my wedding
album.
She was only supposed to be the nanny, but she’s so much more.
The
day my wife left should have been the worst day of my life, but it
wasn’t. It was when Hannah walked away, taking my heart with her.
