I came back from a business trip in the middle of the night, saw my wife’s pink dress on backwards and those water stains on the bed… and I froze. That day, I had left for a three-day work trip to Guadalajara. The plan was to return that evening, but everything ended sooner than expected….

Cold rain pours down in heavy sheets, turning the streetlights into trembling streaks of gold. Elena clutches a broken umbrella that barely works. I pull…
My husband jolted us awake in the middle of the night. “Get up! To the backyard, now!” “What happened?” Our five-year-old grabbed onto me, shaking. “Mommy, I’m scared…” “No time to explain!” he shouted, scooping up our daughter.
