The night Flynn asked for a divorce, I knew he was hiding something. But nothing could have prepared me for what I discovered when I decided to follow him.
The evening light filtered softly into our apartment, casting golden hues across the walls. I stared at a photo of Flynn and me on our wedding day.
He had his arm around me, his eyes bright with that deep affection I thought would last forever.
He’d always been my rock, the steady presence in my life who was endlessly patient, warm, and caring.
Over nearly five years of marriage, Flynn and I had built a life that looked perfect to everyone who knew us. He worked long hours as a lawyer, but we always made time for each other.
Our weekends were sacred, filled with little adventures, late-night conversations, and lazy Sundays watching reruns of shows we both knew by heart. I’d always felt secure with him, knowing that whatever challenges came our way, we’d face them together.
But recently, something changed. Flynn started coming home later, and his warmth turned cold, his patience thinning with each passing day. He’d brush me off, citing “long hours” or “catching up with friends,” but his explanations felt hollow. One night, as we lay in bed in silence, the tension grew unbearable.
“Flynn, is something going on? You’re… different,” I said softly, searching his face.
He sighed, not meeting my gaze. “Work’s just been rough, Nova. Can we not do this right now?”
“But you’ve been distant for weeks,” I pressed gently. “I just want to understand… to help, if I can.”
He turned away, pulling the blanket up around his shoulders. “There’s nothing to talk about,” he muttered, his voice low, final.
I reached out, trying to touch his arm, to bridge the growing distance between us. But he turned his back, pulling the blanket up as if to shut me out.
