Enough to confirm everything she feared.
She didn’t answer.
She couldn’t.
Instead—
She lifted the screen.
Turned it toward him.
Let him see what she had seen.
The message.
The conversation.
The lies.
Silence exploded between them.
Heavy.
Violent.
Unforgiving.
He froze.
Just like she had.
And for a moment—
No one breathed.
“No…”
It came out as a whisper.
Barely human.
“That’s not what it looks like.”
