The marriage between Ava and Peter was not perfect. Even though their relationship had ups and downs, she struggled to let go of him until she found out one day that he had an affair.
Peter arrived home far past midnight, hot and exhausted, saying he was at work working on a project. Since he had been aloof for the past few weeks, Ava knew he wasn’t telling the truth.
He wishes his wife could have known more about his story, no doubt.
Ava made the decision to join him the next day, despite how strange it felt. Her heart was pounding, and she second-guessed her choice.
She tried to persuade herself that she ought to believe her husband more, but that was easier said than done. She wanted to be fully aware of what her intuition was telling her was happening.
When Peter made a stop away from his office and stood at a house’s door, Ava felt a pit in her stomach.
A pleasant-looking woman opened the door and hugged Peter. He came in after they had been chatting for a few minutes.
Ava’s entire world came crashing down. The clear explanation for Peter’s lack of interest in her during the last few weeks was that he was having an affair.
