He confessed, he apologized, he swore it was over and strictly professional now. So why did my whole body wake me at two in the morning?

My husband spent fifteen years saying ink was for people who couldn't commit. Then one rainy Tuesday he came home with a tattoo, and a story that didn't quite close.

My husband swore he barely knew her. Then a notification lit up his phone, and the whole company watched her tell the truth for him.

My husband invented a hobby so dull I never thought to question it. Strolling the aisles of a wholesale store with a coworker. Until I noticed one strange rule.

He forgot his phone charger before his night shift, so I drove it over at one in the morning. I never made it to his desk.

He told me he would be right back. I believed him, the way you believe a man who has spent twenty years learning how to look trustworthy.
