It was half past midnight. I sat in the dark, watching you enter our apartment and dangling the keys as you locked the door.

"Hey baby," I stood up, and you looked as if my voice had startled you. For a moment as I walked toward you, you didn't smell the same, almost like...another man's cologne? The thought of it alone gets under my skin, and I try not to let it show. My hand gently stroked the side of your face and I held my breath, hoping that you would reassure me and tell me everything is alright between us. "Why were you out so late?"
