My husband texted me: “I’m stuck at work. Happy 2nd anniversary, babe.” But I was sitting two tables away… watching him kissing another woman. Just as I was about to confront him, a stranger stopped me and whispered, “Stay calm… the real show’s about to start.” And what happened next…

I let out a short, broken laugh. “Really? Start with the anniversary text. Or maybe explain why our marriage is funding your affair.”

Vanessa’s head snapped toward him. “Your marriage?”

He closed his eyes briefly. That was enough.

She stepped back like she’d been shocked. “You told me you were separated.”

Of course he did, I thought. Of course he used the same lie everywhere.

Daniel looked at her with open disgust. “And you told me you were in Boston for a marketing conference.”

She opened her mouth, then closed it again.

The investigator, whose name tag read Melissa Kane, remained composed. “Mr. Bennett, we need your company phone and access card immediately.”

Andrew ignored her and reached toward me. “Claire, please. Let’s not do this here.”
