Glasses

PHOTO PROMPT © Roger Bultot 

When I found Derek’s glasses, I knew he was never coming back.  He never left his glasses because without them he was legally blind.  Maybe he had been kidnapped and wasn’t coming back.  Either was fine with me.  I had never loved him and just needed a place away from my family.  And Derek was the first person to give me an out.  He thought I signed my life away, but he didn’t know my name wasn’t Meredith.  She was my sister and had disappeared when I was eighteen and I was the only one who knew where she was.
