A young woman stepped inside like she belonged. When I demanded to know who she was, her answer gave me chills: \u201cMichael gave me the key.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The strange, sweet scent lingering in the air made sense now. This woman had been in my space, walking my floors, touching my things while I suffered in a hospital chair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Clutching my bathrobe, I glared. \u201cWho gave you a key?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She tilted her head. \u201cMichael. He told me to make myself at home.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The world tilted. Michael, my husband? The man I had trusted completely? The same man who barely visited while I was gone?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fuming, I led her to the kitchen, where Michael sat, sipping coffee. When she saw him, she frowned. \u201cWho\u2019s that?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Michael looked up, confused.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The woman showed us a photo. My stomach dropped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cJason? Your brother?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Michael groaned. Jason had lied, using our home to impress her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We called Jason. \u201cI reported an intruder,\u201d I lied. \u201cGuess whose name I gave?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Panic. Apologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cChange the locks,\u201d I told Michael. \u201cNow.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/pulsperry.com\/?p=47232\">ALSO READ&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After two exhausting months away at my sick father\u2019s bedside, I finally returned home\u2014only to hear my front door unlock.
