What have you done?

And I run out, and by this time, he's back up from the laundry room.

And like a sane person, he says, what have I done?

And I start yelling, the shirt, the shirt.

What shirt?

And this only incites me further.

So I push him out of the way, I run down into the basement, throw open the lid to the washing machine and throw both arms into the running washing machine.

The powders are like being against my arm and the sleds are like coming out and I'm throwing wet blue jeans like into the air onto the floor of our basement trying to save this shirt.

And I'm throwing things and I'm cursing and...

I start thinking about how this shirt was like the new shirt and it was beautiful.

It's the nicest piece of clothing I've ever owned.

It was to start this marriage and I start crying and I'm throwing clothes and I cannot find it and I know it's in there.

And then I'm about to start screaming again when I hear the door slam upstairs.

And I just stop.

I had forgotten that my brother was there at all, and it wasn't Ben who had left, it was him.

I'm immediately taken back in my mind to Valentine's Day, 1999, when I had my little heart-shaped box of chocolates and a bear, and my brother had like a little Valentine's race car or something, and we were waiting for my dad to get home, and he never did.

And I woke up in the middle of the night at like 3 a.m.

to hear them yelling at each other, and

It was almost immediately after that I found out they were splitting up.

And I know when my brother came to visit and heard me yelling at my husband like that, just a week after we got married, he was thinking, this is obviously what marriage is going to be like in our family.
