Tara and Simon's Stranger

I thought uneasily that the event would eventually make us distant, that our intimacy had now come to an end. I'd let my mind hurtle ahead to scenarios in which Tara became a stranger to me. When my husband came home that evening, I didn't share any of this with him. There was nothing tangible in my worries. The lives of strangers appeared improbable, only because they were seen from a distance.
