“Why?” I whispered.
Daniel continued.
“He told us you were seeing another man. He showed us some messages. He said he wanted to collect evidence.”
“I’ve never been with another man.”
“I know that now,” Daniel replied.
Mike suddenly shouted.
“You don’t know anything about our marriage!”
Ben turned toward him.
“Then tell her about Laura, too.”
I recognized that name.
Laura was an accountant at Mike’s company.
She was forty years old, divorced, and had one daughter.
Mike often told me Laura was just a coworker.
Sometimes I saw her name on his phone, but I had never suspected anything.
“What does Laura have to do with this?”
Mike remained silent.
Daniel slowly sat down.
“They’ve been together for a year, Sarah.”
Everything seemed to go dark around me.
I remembered Mike coming home late.
The unexpected business trips.
The way he carried his phone into the bathroom.
