I found a couple's check-in app on my husband's phone. He had been checking in with someone for a full two hundred days. He recorded their first hug, their first kiss, and even the first time they sle//pt together. That day was our seventh wedding anniversary. And the girl?

My hand trembled as I unlocked Ethan’s phone, tapping through app after app, searching for a lie I didn’t want to see. How ridiculous—wha
