Something To Hide

It seemed almost too good to be true. What if it was? What if Tom was hiding something from her and was doing all of those things out of guilt, to overcompensate and keep her from suspecting anything?
At times, she told herself that she was being ridiculous, but she couldn’t shake those fears. And that wasn’t all: there was another thing.

Tom had started wearing a different cologne; as a matter of fact, he returned to the same one he used to wear when they began dating almost eight years ago. He stopped using it a year into their relationship and claimed to be sick of it.
“I don’t know how I was able to walk around reeking of that,” he joked. But now, he was wearing it again. What was going on?
Dire Contrast

While Jackie spent most days absolutely exhausted, although infinitely grateful for her newborn baby, Tom seemed more upbeat and gleeful than ever before.
This dire contrast made Jackie feel some type of way she wouldn’t be able to define precisely. It would have been wrong to resent her husband: after all, he was the best partner and new dad she could have asked for. But was he?
Moment Of Truth

Jackie kept telling herself that those were just her insecurities talking, that pregnancy and motherhood had been taking a toll on her peace of mind. But was that really all there was to it?
She kept trying to brush it off, and after a few weeks, she almost managed to forget about it. But that night, something else gave her a good reason for suspicion.
The Choices That Make Us

One day, Jackie and Tom decided they were in need of a date. They had just recently had their third child. So, as a family, they packed up and headed off to their local pizzeria. But when they got there, their baby grew niggly.
Jackie knew it was time for a feed, so she did just that. As she breastfed her child, she could feel eyes hot on her back. But none as hot as her waitress’.
Camaraderie

Usually, she felt a certain sense of camaraderie with waitresses and service workers. She had been a waitress at a restaurant herself for a few months, right after she left the Army.
As a matter of fact, that was the time he met Tom. They met while she was working; after finishing his meal, Tom asked her for her number.
A Cute Memory

That was a cute anecdote that she enjoyed sharing with friends and relatives. She always remembered her times as a waitress every time she went to a restaurant with Tom.
She thought of it this time too. However, this time the memory hit her with strange anguish and anxiety. And it was all about the waitress’ behavior.
Bracing Herself

“The waitress kept walking by, and I was worried she didn’t want me nursing in the restaurant,” Jackie said. However, the reason behind the waitress’ walking back and forth and eying the family’s table wasn’t because she wanted to judge Jackie.
Was that it, though? Or did she have a different reason to be strolling around their vicinity and glancing at them again and again?
