“Not sure.”
“Want me to pick something up?”
“No. Daniel might stop by.”
Mark paused.
“Everything okay with him?”
“I think he’s having some marriage problems.”
Another pause.
“Oh?”
“Apparently.”
“What’s going on?”
“He hasn’t told me everything yet.”
Mark cleared his throat.
“Young marriages can be hard.”
I gripped the counter.
“Can they?”
“Yeah. Hopefully they work through it.”
I almost laughed.
“Hopefully everyone gets what they deserve.”
Silence.
“What does that mean?”
“Nothing. See you tonight.”
I hung up.
Now I knew Mark intended to keep lying until he couldn’t anymore.
Daniel wanted to confront Jenna that night, but I asked him to wait until we’d both spoken with our attorneys.
Instead, we planned Sunday dinner.
Daniel texted Jenna.
Can we have dinner at Mom and Dad’s Sunday? Mom’s making roast. Mother’sDay gifts
She replied, “Of course 🩷”I hated that heart.
