sandwiches without even asking Danni if she wanted one. “Do you have good news for me?” She suddenly stopped what she was doing to look at her daughter with so much hope. It broke Danni’s heart to see her mother so excited, anticipating being a grandmother. Only for her dreams to be crushed because it seems that will never happen.
    “Oh my God. What’s wrong Danni?” Lena rushed to her now tearful daughter. Danni didn’t even realize she had started to shed tears of sorrow until her mother wrapped her in her arms. The dam broke and so did her resolve. Breaking down into a full-blown sob. “Tell me, what’s wrong honey? Let me help you.”
    “Oh mom. Lamont… He… Oh God.”
    “Did he hurt you? What happened?” Lena shouted question after question. “I will kill that son of a bitch if he put his hands on my baby.”
    “No mom, it’s not that.” Danni giggled a little from her mother’s sudden outburst of violence. Her mother hardly ever cursed but when she did, it was when she was at her whit’s end.
    “I just found out Lamont has cheated on me.”
    “No. Are you sure?”
    “I’m sure.”
    “How did you find out?”
    “Someone sent me an email a while ago. Right after our anniversary party actually. It took me some time to even believe that it was real. I thought for sure it was a ploy. After a disagreement with Lamont and the doubts would never leave, I opened the email that I saved for whatever reason. Attachments were in the email with pictures and one video. I watched every ounce of his infidelity.” Danni started to cry again. “Mom, he didn’t even look sorrowful for his actions. After the deed was done, he straightened up like it was normal for him. Then had me at his side as he carried on a conversation with the woman he was just with.”
    “I’m sorry Danni. I know that must have been hard for you to watch.”
    “I don’t know what I am going to do.”
    “What did he say when you confronted him?”
    “I haven’t.”
    “You haven’t? Well are you planning to address it or ignore it? Those are your only options at this point.”
    “I should address it right?”
    “Danni, you are your own person. A grown woman at that. You have to make the decision for yourself. The one that you will have to live with.”
    “What would you do if this was daddy?”
    “Before or after my crime of passion plea?”
    “I’m serious mom.”
    “So am I. Danni you of all people know how hard it is to have a quick temper. I fear if something like that ever happened between your father and I, there would be no turning back for my rage. In all honesty, I would be in a padded room with a little window in the door for visitors.”
    “I thought that would be my initial reaction but I am too hurt to even consider it. If anything, I am blaming myself for his actions. Maybe there is something about me that lead him astray.” Danni shook her head sadly. “Then my feelings are even more hurt because he hadn’t even used protection with this woman. What if she ended up pregnant?”
    “No protection? Screw pregnant, what about an STD sweetie? And how many others is he sleeping with? There are so many more questions and concerns you should have.”
    “I know. I am so devastated. I am having a hard time deciphering which way is up at this point.”
    “It’s going to take some time. Maybe you should stay here or get away for a bit to figure out what you want to do.”
    “No mom, even though he probably won’t miss me if I didn’t come home, I have to face this situation straight up. There is nowhere else to run. I have to confront him.”
    “Let me know if there is anything I can do. Set up a crime scene to look like an accident. Anything just call me.”
    “Mom, you are a mess. There is one thing you can do for me.”
    “What is that?”
    “Keep this conversation between you and me.”
    “No can do.” Lena quickly answered without hesitation.
    “Mom!”
    “Danielle!” Lena mocked. “I don’t
