There are worse things than going back to prison.
Getting caught before you punch your ex-husband is one of them.
I am not a criminal.
I am a woman who trusted the wrong man, signed the wrong documents, and spent fourteen months in federal prison because my ex-husband ran a Ponzi scheme built around counterfeit vibrators and neglected to mention it.
I had six months left when someone left the gate open.
I am not saying it was fate.
I am saying… I didn’t hesitate.
The man who picked me up on the highway was a US Marshal.
I know. I didn't find out until I was already in the car eating his granola bars, and by then the air conditioning was too good to get out. He knew who I was before he stopped. He drove me anyway. We haven't had that conversation yet.
I had one goal: find my ex-husband (who was living in my house with my sister) and introduce his face to my fist.
Simple. Focused. Entirely reasonable.
What I did not account for was the marshal, the Hawaiian shirt, and the very inconvenient fact that decency, it turns out, is my weakness.
