The gentle sway of the hammock, the rhythmic chirping of crickets, the cool night air – everything was perfect. Noah leaned back, a full belly, the memory of Emily’s cooking still fresh in his mind. He and Emily had shared a bottle of wine, a quiet evening under the stars. He felt deeply pleased with his life right now.

He decided to go inside and noticed a strange car parked in front of his house. He went to find out who it was and saw her talking to another man. The man was holding a guitar, Emily loved to play the guitar. He saw them hug, a long, lingering hug, and his stomach lurched.

Emily saw him. Her face went white and her eyes looked wild.
