I came to the airport just to wave goodbye to a friend—until I saw my husband in the departure lounge, arms wrapped around the woman he swore was “just a coworker.” I walked closer, heart pounding, and heard him whisper, “Everything is ready. That fool is going to lose everything.” She laughed, “And she won’t even see it coming.” I didn’t cry. I didn’t scream. I just smiled… because I’d already set my trap.

Rachel photographed everything, sent it to Audrey, and closed the laptop just as the garage door rumbled.

She moved to the kitchen and began slicing vegetables she did not need, grounding herself in routine, when Brian walked in with his familiar smile.

“Hey,” he said, leaning in. “How was the airport.”

“Busy,” she replied lightly. “Keisha’s flight left on time.”

He studied her for a second. “You seem quiet.”

“Just tired,” she said, meeting his gaze steadily.

He nodded, satisfied. “Tomorrow will be hectic.”

“So will mine,” Rachel answered softly.
