I came home early from a work trip to surprise my wife on our anniversary.
I had flowers in one hand and her favorite cake in the other.
When I opened the front door, I heard laughter coming from the kitchen.
A man's voice said, “What if he finds out?”
My wife laughed.
“He won't. He trusts me too much.”
I stood there frozen.
Then the man said something that made my hands go c0ld.
“That's what makes this so easy.”

I slowly walked toward the kitchen.
My wife turned around, saw me, and dropped her glass.
The man didn't move.
Because he wasn't a stranger.
He was the person who had stood beside me as my best man seven years earlier.
And the first thing he said wasn't an apology.
It was, “You weren't supposed to come back until Sunday.”
