He’d built an entire narrative around being a prominent surgeon, complete with hushed phone calls and late-night hospital visits. The pressure of knowing, suspecting, that she might have to confront him had been crushing. Now, witnessing him struggling to maneuver a fluffy poodle into his car, she felt a profound sense of ease.

A small smile played on her lips as she walked towards him. "Daniel! Is that… Fluffy?"

His face went crimson, but his shoulders visibly slumped.
