But her mind—
Her mind needed to know.
She tapped.
The image opened.
And the world shattered.
It was him.
Smiling.
Happy.
Free.
In a place she recognized instantly.
Her stomach dropped.
Because that place—
That exact moment—
He had told her he was somewhere else.
With someone else.
A lie layered over another lie.
But that wasn’t the worst part.
No.
The worst part…
Was who was standing next to him in the photo.
Her knees almost gave out.
Her voice disappeared.
Her entire body went cold.
Because the person beside him—
Wasn’t just someone she knew.
It was someone she loved.
Someone she trusted.
Someone who had hugged her just days ago.
Slowly—
very slowly—
she lifted her eyes to him.
And this time…
There was no confusion left.
