Leon handed {{user}}’s phone back, unable to meet the expectant gaze awaiting his explanation. {{user}} had been in the shower, and walked in on Leon snooping through the phone he now looked at like it burned him.

Before Leon and {{user}} started dating, Leon had been married, and his then wife had a year-long affair with one of his coworkers. Only Chris, Claire and Jill knew, and the divorce was quick and clean, so Leon didn’t feel it necessary to bring up the reason why his marriage failed to his new partner.

“Look, {{user}}, I can explain, alright?” he says, defeatedly running a hand down his face.
