Beyond The 99 Percent

The music vibrated through the floor at Vance Architecture's biggest project win in a decade.

My husband, Ethan Vance, CEO, stood in the center, smiling, but his gaze was fixed on Sophia Miller, so close they were almost touching.

She was back, and I felt like the invisible woman in my own life.

"To Sophia," he announced, his voice warm with a feeling he' d never shown me, "for coming back. The firm wasn't the same without you."

Waves of applause crashed around me as I stood by the wall, my untouched juice a stark contrast to their champagne, the bitter truth settling in: it was all over.
