Friends had written:
Beautiful couple!
Happy anniversary!
You two look so happy!

I stared at Daniel’s arm wrapped around me in the photograph.
Then I realized something.
A picture can capture a smile.
It can capture a sunset.
It can capture two wedding rings.
But it can never capture the truth hiding between two people.
So I saved one copy of the photograph.
Not because it represented our marriage.
Because it represented the exact moment I finally stopped allowing my husband to erase me from my own life.
