Her husband was walking toward the car.
She quickly put on a coat and followed.
Her heart was beating rapidly.
Part of her wanted to turn around.
Another part knew that she could not continue living with unanswered questions.
The Road to the House
She followed him through several streets.
Eventually, he turned into an area she barely recognized.
The houses became older.
The roads were quieter.
Streetlights were fewer.
Then he stopped.
She slowed down.
Her husband parked in front of a small, run-down house.
The building looked neglected.
Paint was peeling.
The yard was overgrown.
Several windows appeared damaged.
She immediately wondered:
Why would he come here every night?
The Girl at the Door
Then she saw someone.
A girl was standing near the entrance.
She looked young.
She appeared to be waiting for him.
The husband’s car stopped.
He got out.
The girl approached.
From where the wife was watching, the scene looked intimate.
