    ... here again. When I don’t have to work so much.” As he said those words I saw them for the lie that they were. He would never have a time when he didn’t have to work so much. “This wa’er is so wmmmm.” He began to slur his words as his stumbling became more evident. I couldn’t keep myself from giving him a look. We were on the Pacific Ocean side and the water was very cold not warm. “I have to pee, Jessica. I’ll be right back.” We’d stopped on the part of the beach where the decline into the water was the steepest. Ordinarily, I would have been fighting him tooth and nail not to go pee in these waters, but it was with no emotion that I watched my husband of 20 years walk into the water to go pee. He stumbled a couple of times as he made his way. I know his intent was to be at least waist deep, but he only made it to about two inches above his knees before he slipped his final time. And just like that my husband was gone and my life was changed forever. I rubbed my arms against the chill of the Pacific Ocean. Besides the coastline to my right there were miles and miles of water before me. Time to get away from this cold beach back over to the warmth of the Bahia San Lucas. As I reached Lover’s Beach my eyes panned over the crowd of people enjoying the day. My eyes rested on Jairo walking his way towards me, and my body began to heat up as my face lit up. I would no longer be living in a cold, dead marriage. The thought was kind of morbid, but I’d left my cold marriage with the cold waters of the Pacific, and have opened up my life to the warmth of a new relationship, a relationship waiting for me in the warm waters of Lover's Beach in Cabo San Lucas.
