We'd been married for five years, and my husband had always harbored a secret love for someone else.
I knew she and my husband had been college classmates, that she liked cats and reading, and that she didn't like to wear her hair long.
But I didn't know her name.
Until one day, while sorting through old things, I came across my husband's college graduation photo.
Beside her smiling face, her name was clearly written.
Jiang Yunyan.
My husband had insisted on naming our daughter Muyan. Suddenly, everything made sense.
Calmly, I put the graduation photo back where it belonged, then drove to pick up my daughter from kindergarten.
"Come on. Mommy's taking you to change your name."
"And while we're at it, we'll get you a new dad."
