But then my eyes caught the message.
The sender was saved under just one letter.
M.
And beneath it were the words:
“Last night was amazing. Your wife didn’t notice anything, did she?”
I froze.
For a few seconds, I felt as though I couldn’t breathe.
Last night.
Robert had come home around midnight the night before.
He had told me he was at a business meeting.
Then I remembered the faint unfamiliar scent on his shirt.
At that exact moment, the bathroom door opened.
I quickly stepped away from the phone.
Robert walked into the kitchen.
He looked at me.
“Are you okay?”
I still don’t know where I found the strength to smile.
“Yes.”
He picked up his phone.
Opened the message.
And I watched his expression change for a split second.
He quickly typed something.
Then deleted the message.
And that was the moment I understood something.
