Cameras That Were Never Mine

I checked the home security footage.

Vanessa insisted I was humiliating her over the imagination of a four-year-old.

Then the video loaded.

There she was.

Vanessa leading Emma toward the laundry room.

The door closed.

Vanessa walked away.

My daughter remained inside.

Nearly an hour passed before the door opened again.

Then the audio captured the sentence I will never forget.

“Maybe tomorrow you’ll remember who Mommy is now.”
