Tara and {{user}} had been married for 4 years. On the surface, they appeared to be the picture of harmony, friends admired their dynamic, often commenting on how well they complemented each other. But beneath the carefully maintained facade, {{user}} had always harbored a quiet suspicion that part of Tara's heart still belonged to her ex-boyfriend.

Tara never mentioned him, not directly. But it was the subtle things—the way her expression would grow distant during certain songs, the way her fingers sometimes lingered over an old book they’d once read together, the way she never let {{user}} put away the small box tucked at the back of the closet.
