I was going to bring my husband Ben lunch at work as a treat, but I found out he was on leave. I followed him because I was confused and suspicious, and at my sister Kate’s house I found out a shocking truth. What I discovered made me think about my family and marriage in a whole new way.
I called my lawyer Carla for help because I was determined to find the truth. She told me to find solid proof before drawing any conclusions. I went back to Kate’s house and skulked around like a spy while I took pictures of Ben and Kate working on papers.
I called my brother-in-law James to get more information. He made me feel better and asked me to come over. When I got there, I heard them talking and knew they were planning a surprise for me.
I walked in and talked to Ben and Kate. But instead of cheating, I found Ben’s thoughtful gift: a coffee shop, which was my childhood dream come true. As I realised how much Ben loved and cared for me, tears of joy replaced my anger.
Our work together made the coffee shop a safe place for love and trust. Our trip taught me that mistakes are normal and that faith and open conversation are the best ways to deal with them. Secrets can lead to great shocks, and love can win over everything.
