Clara walked into the house that evening with a calm face.
Jake was sitting in the living room, watching television. He looked up when she entered.
“You’re back.”
“Yes.” She placed her handbag on the table. “How was your evening?”
“Fine. Yours?”
“Fine too.”
The lies came easily.
Jake watched her for a few seconds. He knew Clara had discovered the video on his phone. He had noticed the change in her behavior since that day.
Clara walked upstairs without saying anything else.
Inside their bedroom, she locked the door and pulled out her phone. The video was still there.
She didn’t want Jake to know she had the video. Not yet. Until she had enough proof to make Ryan believe her, she would keep everything to herself.
She also wanted to know why Jake had the video in the first place.
