đ My flight was canceled, so I came home earlier than planned. When I opened the door, a woman wearing my robe smiled at me and said, âYouâre the realtor, right?â
I played alongâbecause I needed the truth to reveal itself.
I was already on my way to the airport for a business trip when the announcement came over the speakers: the flight was canceled. Weather issues. Technical delays. No timeline.
I was irritatedâbut also oddly relieved.
Instead of rebooking, I grabbed a cab and headed home. I thought Iâd surprise my husband, Ethan. Lately, weâd been passing each other like strangers. A quiet night together felt overdue.
I unlocked the front door.
A woman stood in the hallway.
She was wearing my robe.
Her hair was damp, like sheâd just stepped out of the shower. She held one of our coffee mugs in both hands and looked completely comfortableâlike she belonged there. When she saw me, she smiled politely, almost apologetically.
âOh,â she said. âYou must be the realtor. My husband mentioned youâd be stopping by.â
Something dropped hard in my chest.
But my face didnât change.
âYes,â I said evenly. âThatâs me.â
She stepped aside without hesitation. âPerfect. Heâs in the shower. Feel free to look around.â
I walked in slowly, my pulse pounding.
Nothing about the house felt staged. Shoes by the couch that werenât mine. A second toothbrush at the sink. Fresh flowers on the tableâflowers Ethan had never once brought home for me.
âBeautiful place,â I said, adopting a professional tone I didnât feel.
âThank you,â she replied warmly. âWe moved in together a few months ago.â
We.
I nodded, pretending to examine the space while my thoughts raced. If I confronted her now, sheâd panic. If I confronted Ethan, heâd lie. I needed everything first.
âSo,â I asked lightly, âhow long have you two been married?â
She laughed. âMarried? Noâweâre engaged. The ringâs being resized.â
The room seemed to tilt.
She led me toward the bedroom, chatting about renovation plans. On the dresser sat a framed photoâEthan and her, smiling on a beach. Dated last summer.
The same summer he told me he was away at a work retreat.
Then the bathroom door opened. Steam rolled into the hallway.
âBabe, did youââ Ethan froze when he saw me.
For a split second, all the color drained from his face. Then I watched the calculation kick in.
âOh,â he said quickly. âYouâre home early.â
The woman turned toward him, confused. âHoney? You know the realtor?â
I closed my folder slowly and smiled.
âYes,â I said. âWe know each other very well.â
Ethan opened his mouth to explain.
Thatâs when I decidedâI wouldnât let him. Read more in Comment or Most relevant -> All Comments đ¨ď¸
