The phone felt heavy in Elena's hand. She’d been avoiding calling Mark, her boyfriend. He’d been “Consulting” for a big tech firm, a job that afforded him a lavish lifestyle she struggled to reconcile with his supposed hours of work.

He'd been distant lately, deflecting questions about his projects with a dismissive wave. The details never quite matched up. His company car? A rental. His "executive suite"? Always unavailable when she suggested a visit. She had the distinct feeling of missing a vital clue.

She replayed his stories in her mind, searching for inconsistencies. A chill crept over her. This needed to be addressed. She took a deep breath, and dialed his number.
