From her vantage point in the loft, Amelia observed David pacing in the garden. He was mouthing words into his phone, his brow furrowed in concentration. It was the third time this week. She usually knew every minute detail of his day, but lately…

Her hand flew to her own throat. A peculiar heat flooded her face. The way he was speaking, the intonation of his voice… it wasn’t him. Not the David she knew, not the man who told her everything.

She slowly began to descend the stairs, each step a deliberate act of defiance. This couldn't be happening. She couldn't allow it.
