Late-Night Escapes
Emily’s secretive behavior intensified when she began taking phone calls late at night. Mark would hear her speaking in hushed tones, pacing the floor before quietly slipping out. Her absences were unexplained, her destinations vague. He noted the time, every minute stretching painfully as he sat alone wondering where she had gone.
One evening, unable to contain his anxiety any longer, Mark decided to follow her once more. She drove to an unfamiliar part of town, far from anywhere they’d been together before. As Mark trailed her from a safe distance, unease settled over him like a weight. The further she drove, the more he feared what truth he might soon discover.
