The expensive leather of the car seat felt rough beneath his fingertips as he gripped the steering wheel. The email, with its damning attachment, replayed in his mind: photos, dates, identical lies. He felt a pressure building in his head, a dull throb behind his eyes. He pounded the steering wheel with his fist, a jarring sound that echoed in the otherwise quiet parking garage. He wanted to scream. He wanted to wreck something. He started the engine, the roar momentarily silencing the chaotic symphony of emotions within him. He put the car in reverse, backing up violently and speeding away.
