Don’t Ask Why She Didn’t Leave

Thrifty Words Theme Challenge #23: Mental Health

She didn’t recognise the face in the mirror. She’d bent over backward too long.

Maybe if she was less attractive. Cleaner. Less driven. Maybe if she didn’t work late. Or take her time at the store.

Don’t ask why she didn’t leave.

Ask what he did to make her stay.

Thanks to Jonica Bradley for the prompt.
