My heart started racing. He looked up at me and said he still had a key, so technically he wasn’t trespassing. I realized he must have made a copy before I changed the locks. He said I’d had my tantrum and now we needed to talk like adults about our marriage. His voice was calm, but his eyes were hard.
I didn’t say anything. I just turned around and walked back out to my car. I called Lily and told her to go to Rachel’s house after practice. Then I called the police from my car and reported that my separated husband had broken into my home. Two officers showed up within 20 minutes. I waited in my car until they arrived.
They went inside and I heard raised voices. My husband came out 10 minutes later with the officers behind him. He glared at me as he walked past my car. One of the officers came over and took my statement. She asked if I wanted to press charges. I said yes. She gave me a case number and told me to contact a lawyer about a restraining order.
