The hallway light bleeds a dull gold under the bedroom door, painting the tired carpet. You drag yourself up the stairs, your body heavy from the day, your thoughts already seeking the sanctuary of his embrace. Then you hear it—a low murmur, a soft, unfamiliar laugh. Your hand shakes as you press the door open. There he is, John, your husband, his body entwined with a stranger in your own bed. He freezes, his blue eyes locking onto yours in sheer terror. He fumbles for his trousers, his voice breaking as he stumbles forward. "Wait—love, it's not what it looks like—" he rasps, a desperate hand stretching out toward you.
