A nervous smile. A look that lingered too long on my husband through the kitchen window.

Her little girl clung tightly to her side, and she wore her exhaustion like perfume. I helped carry boxes, trying not to judge. But the way April\u2019s gaze followed Dave through the glass? That wasn\u2019t coincidence.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"194\" data-end=\"455\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-65624\" src=\"https:\/\/pulsperry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/3cf02a2847039103eb108480ec9ee555d44eaaaae6e0be640a528f406480c911-300x200.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pulsperry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/3cf02a2847039103eb108480ec9ee555d44eaaaae6e0be640a528f406480c911-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/pulsperry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/3cf02a2847039103eb108480ec9ee555d44eaaaae6e0be640a528f406480c911.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"457\" data-end=\"572\">Later, in the kitchen, I asked Dave about her. He shrugged too fast. \u201cNo idea who she is.\u201d His eyes said otherwise.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"574\" data-end=\"693\">That night, I caught him slipping across the lawn to her house.
