Returning home after a two-month business trip, the shoe rack, seasoning jars, and mouse had all been moved to the left. His wife said her right hand was injured, but when assistant Li Yang came over, he familiarly used his left hand to open the shoe rack—clutching our spare key and visiting six times in ten days. Seven years of marriage, she changed our home decor for him, cancelled our pre-pregnancy consultation, and let him sit in my seat on our anniversary. On our seventh anniversary, I handed out the divorce agreement in front of the cake, but she thought a little coaxing would fix it. Once the cooling-off period ended, I sold our marital home and moved far away to a new city. She finally learned to ask if I could stay, but by my side there was already someone who gave the right of choice back to me. Late affection, I no longer need it.
