I even applied to be demoted just to bring you back. Let's just live our lives well from now on," Simon says.Burdened by guilt for affecting his career, I spend the rest of my life carefully taking care of him and busying myself in the kitchen as a dutiful wife.But before I die, my daughter finds the letter accusing me of having a mental condition—it is written in my husband's own hand.She also discovers decades of correspondence between him and a deceased war buddy's widow named Charmaine Marlowe.In those letters, he writes that to fulfill his buddy's dying wish to take care of Charmaine, he fabricates a false mental illness record and inserts it into my astronaut application. As a result, I was sent to the psychiatric hospital, and my position was taken by her.The glass shatters, and the sharp fragments pierce me, like they are stabbing into my heart.I was supposed to be the one to go to space. But my husband sacrificed my chance so that another woman could have it!I die in despair.When I open my eyes again, I am back on the day of the astronaut selection for the manned spacecraft launch.This time, when Simon offers to help submit my application, I refuse to let him."
