I Found a Packed Suitcase My Wife Hid From Me... Then I Found My Name on the Tag

I found the suitcase by accident. Janice had asked me to help unload groceries from her car. Behind the bags was an old gray hard-shell suitcase I'd barely thought about in decades. It was packed. A faded yellow strip of fabric was tied around the handle. And attached to it was a tag with my wife's name. JANICE MARLOWE. DAYTON. TUESDAY. The problem was simple. My wife hadn't told me she was going anywhere. When I casually asked if she had plans for Tuesday, she looked at me and said no. Then the suitcase disappeared from her trunk. I thought Janice was hiding a trip from me. Until I found another tag. Same destination. Same date. Same reference number. But this one had my name on it. CURTIS MARLOWE. And underneath: PARTICIPANT — HOLD. A few days later, I saw Janice carry that suitcase into a local heritage center where other people were arriving with luggage of their own. Then she opened it. Inside was something that had belonged to me thirty-six years earlier. And suddenly, the question wasn't where my wife was going. It was why someone had brought back a journey I never took. An original realistic psychological mystery about marriage, memory, an abandoned relocation, and the difference between the story we tell for decades and what we actually felt at the time.
