The silence in the house was a heavy,
0:02
suffocating thing. It was Thursday, the
0:05
night Sharon always went out with her
0:07
friends. For Bob, it had been a ritual,
0:10
an evening of peace, a chance to get
0:13
ahead on work to ensure his Friday could
0:15
be dedicated to his family.
0:18
His parents had their daughter, Casey,
0:20
and his wife, he believed, was enjoying
0:22
a well-deserved night with her friends.
0:25
But tonight, the routine was a lie. The
0:28
sound of a Miller light bottle being set
0:30
on the table was a tiny, defiant act.
0:33
Bob had only bought a six-pack, a
0:35
testament to the fragile self-control he
0:37
knew he'd need if the night spiraled
0:40
into the chaos he felt it would. He was
0:42
not there to get drunk. He was there to
0:45
wait. Just days earlier, he had met
0:47
Vicki, one of Sharon's friends, for a
0:50
seemingly innocent lunch. He had always
0:52
liked Vicki. She had a sharp wit and a
0:55
calming presence. He had assumed she
0:57
wanted to talk about a surprise party
0:59
for Sharon's birthday. The sad, intense
1:02
look in her eyes had told him otherwise.
1:05
"There's no easy way to put this, but
1:08
Sharon has been seeing someone for 2
1:10
months now," she had said, the words of
1:12
physical blow that left him breathless.
1:15
"Vicky explained how Sharon, feeling
1:17
neglected and like a middle-aged married
1:20
couple, had confided in her friends.
1:23
The group had been sympathetic until
1:25
Vickiy's sister Gary, a woman Bob knew
1:27
was promiscuous, suggested Sharon find
1:30
romance elsewhere. The idea Vicki
1:33
believed had taken root. Soon after, a
1:36
man named Luke Jonas, a notorious
1:38
womanizer from their social circle, had
1:41
started pursuing Sharon. Bob had felt
1:43
the information lodge in his mind like a
1:45
shard of glass. He was angry, hurt, and
1:48
betrayed, but he was also a man of
1:50
logic. He loved his wife and daughter.
1:54
He believed in knowledge as power. He
1:56
had to know the full extent of the
1:58
damage before he could decide if the
2:00
marriage could be salvaged.
2:02
Vickiy's final revelation at lunch had
2:04
confirmed his worst fears. "I witnessed
2:07
Sharon placing the underwear in Luke's
2:09
pocket at the end of a song," she said.
2:12
And then he gave her a deep kiss. One of
2:14
his friends recorded it. Bob had left
2:17
the restaurant in a days. the image of
2:19
his wife and this other man replaying in
2:21
his mind. He remembered that night, the
2:24
night Sharon had come home late,
2:26
smelling of alcohol and perfume. He
2:29
remembered their passionate love making,
2:31
fueled by what he now knew was an
2:33
adrenaline rush from her flirtation with
2:34
another man. The rage had simmered, a
2:38
quiet, cold fire. He had to be sure. He
2:41
had started his investigation the moment
2:43
he got home. While he was at work, he
2:46
had logged into Sharon's email. nothing.
2:50
But he knew she was smarter than that.
2:52
Tonight, while she slept, he found her
2:55
phone. The text messages confirmed every
2:58
terrible detail. From the flirtatious
3:01
conversations with Luke about their
3:02
inappropriate behavior to the desperate
3:05
pleas from Sharon to get her underwear
3:07
back to the final damning message from
3:10
Luke today.
3:12
Oh, you brought your bikini. Perfect.
3:15
The lies of omission had become a
3:17
mountain of betrayal.
3:19
Now, as the music from upstairs stopped,
3:22
he felt his heart rate quicken.
3:24
He heard the footsteps descending the
3:26
stairs. His beautiful wife, Sharon,
3:29
stood at the bottom, dressed in her
3:31
little black dress.
3:34
She was the epitome of womanhood, curvy,
3:37
vibrant, and stunningly attractive.
3:41
She looked at him with a smile, a
3:43
flicker of surprise in her eyes at
3:45
seeing him home early. "I didn't expect
3:47
you to come home so early, baby," she
3:49
said, her voice faltering slightly. "We
3:52
need to talk, Sharon," he said, his
3:54
voice a low, emotionless rumble. "This
3:57
is perhaps the most crucial conversation
3:59
we'll ever have. Please sit down." He
4:02
watched as her smile evaporated,
4:04
replaced by a look of apprehension.
4:07
She sat across from him and reached for
4:09
his hand, but he pulled away. "I know
4:12
there won't be a bachelorette party
4:14
today," he began, the words cutting
4:16
through the air like daggers. "I know
4:19
you're seeing Luke Jonas. I know about
4:21
the kiss, the dancing, and the underwear
4:23
you gave him." He watched the color
4:26
drain from her face. I know the only
4:29
reason you were all over me 3 weeks ago
4:31
was because you were excited about him.
4:33
and I know you're going on a date with
4:35
him tonight at a hotel restaurant where
4:36
he's booked a room. He paused, letting
4:40
the silence fill with the weight of her
4:42
lies.
4:43
I don't know if you've already slept
4:45
with him, but frankly, I don't care. I'm
4:48
exhausted, and my trust in you is
4:50
shattered. Tears streamed down her face,
4:52
and she tried to speak, but he slammed
4:54
his fist on the table, the force
4:56
rattling the bottle of beer. "Damn it,
4:59
Sharon. Listen to me, he shouted, his
5:01
voice cracking with a pain he could no
5:03
longer contain. He took a deep breath,
5:06
his eyes cold and hard. You have three
5:09
options, he raised a finger. Option one,
5:14
you walk out that door and go to your
5:15
boyfriend. This choice ends our
5:17
marriage. He raised a second finger.
5:20
Option two, we sit here all night and
5:23
you try to convince me to save this
5:25
marriage. I can tell you there's a 50%
5:27
chance I'll be willing to try. He raised
5:30
a third finger. Option three, you take
5:33
me with you tonight. We confront your
5:36
lover in front of me. You demand that he
5:38
never speaks to you again and then you
5:40
allow us to speak to him privately.
5:43
This option gives us the best chance. If
5:46
you didn't sleep with him, I will be
5:48
100% committed to making this work. The
5:51
question hung in the air, a final
5:53
ultimatum.
5:54
Option one, two, or three, Sharon. Which
5:57
will you choose? She looked at him, her
6:00
face a mask of horror. He saw her mind
6:03
racing, the panic behind her eyes. Bob,
6:07
she finally whispered. I need to talk to
6:09
you. He shook his head, a hint of
6:12
something resembling triumph on his
6:14
face. "No, the time for talking is over.
6:17
You've had your chance. Now you have to
6:20
choose."
6:21
She sat in stunned silence for another
6:23
long moment before finally nodding her
6:25
head. "I'll take you with me," she
6:28
whispered. Bob picked up his keys and
6:30
followed her to the car. The silence
6:32
between them, a living, breathing thing.
6:36
As they pulled into the hotel parking
6:37
lot, Sharon's phone chimed. She glanced
6:40
at it and a new wave of fear washed over
6:42
her. It was Luke. "Where are you?" Bob
6:46
took the phone, his face a grim mask.
6:50
He read the messages from Luke. Each one
6:52
a fresh stab of betrayal.
6:55
I booked a room with a jacuzzi. You know
6:57
what happens when you drink. Oh, you
7:00
brought your bikini. Perfect. He handed
7:03
the phone back to her. You know these
7:06
messages don't help your case, right?
7:08
Bob, I swear I only intended to have
7:10
dinner. She sobbed, but her words felt
7:13
hollow even to her. They walked into the
7:16
restaurant. Sharon with a newfound
7:18
determination gestured toward the back
7:20
of the room where a man sat engrossed in
7:22
his phone. Luke Jonas.
7:25
She walked toward him, a figure of
7:27
strength and resolve. She stopped at his
7:30
table, a silent challenge in her stance.
7:34
Bob stood behind her, a shadow of the
7:36
man he used to be, a witness to the end
7:38
of a lie and the beginning of an
7:40
uncertain truth.
