“Sorry I’m late,” I said, forcing a smile and entering Sam’s room.

He startled at my voice, tossing his phone to the side. “There you are. I was just about to call you again. I thought you forgot about me.”

“Impossible,” I joked, mentally scolding myself to not be so transparent. “Any more news from the doctors about a discharge date?”

At that, Sam’s eyes brightened and he nodded his head up and down like a bobble-head doll. “I got the green light just a little while ago. I can come home tomorrow!”

I should’ve been relieved. My excitement should have mirrored Sam’s. But with this end would come a new beginning. Before today, with the surgery behind us we planned to move forward and never look back. Knowing what I knew now, that plan would remain stagnant. How could I move forward without knowing the whole truth? The news of Sam coming home meant less time to process this, less time before I had to confront him, less time to pretend everything was still perfect.

“You okay, babe?” Sam’s question pierced through my thoughts.

I looked up from mindlessly staring at the floor and nodded. “I’m fine. Just tired. Long day.”

“You sure?” he pressed.

My clipped answers alluded to the distance I’d already wedged between us. And I was a fool to think Sam wouldn’t sense something. He knew me too well. So, I fought the urges bubbling inside of me and busied my fidgeting hands by tidying up his room.

“Yes, I’m sure. I just have a lot on my mind.” If that wasn’t an understatement, I didn’t know what was.

“Okay. You don’t have to stay long, then. You should go home and get some rest. Tomorrow’s a new day.” I noticed a tick in Sam’s jaw as he swallowed hard. Almost undetectably, he dragged his gaze from me and looked to the left.

Maybe I was on high alert or maybe it was plain as the wary expression on Sam’s face. This was not the time, nor the place for the kind of confrontation Sam and I were bound to have, but I was seething and Sam’s actions told me he knew something was up.

Clenching my teeth, I closed my eyes and breathed through my nose. “I ran into Hunter tonight, but I’m guessing you already know that.”

He remained silent, his eyes unblinking—a deer in headlights.

“Listen, I get it.” I shook my head and narrowed my eyes. “The timing sucks and everyone’s stressed out, but I can’t look at you without telling you that I know. I know what you did, Sam. I’m not happy about it and I don’t know what to do with it, but—”

“Babe . . . please, let me explain. Whatever he told you—”

“No.” I raised a hand to stop him. I wasn’t crazy for being angry. I would not allow him to dismiss my feelings about being lied to. But I also wanted to wait until we were home where we could speak freely and openly, and hopefully make sense of our mayhem.
