There it was, her daughter, Chloe's secret Instagram account. He’d known something was up, the furtive glances, the constant texting, the locked bathroom doors. Now the mystery was finally unravelling.

A genuine smile, one that reached his eyes, spread across his face as he clicked on the profile. He'd done it! He found it! He couldn't help but chuckle as he scrolled through her posts, seeing a side of Chloe he'd never known. This was going to be fun.

He felt like a kid again, the adrenaline pumping through him. He leaned back in his chair, feeling like he could fly. He had a secret.
