You've noticed it, haven't you? The late nights mom's been having?
I just found out today she was cheating on dad but how did you find out
Well, I happened to stumble upon some messages on her phone while she was asleep. It wasn't hard to put two and two together.
Damn…is that why she’s always getting mad at me when I bring up or say anything about her “work”
Yes, she's been trying to keep it a secret from everyone, especially you. But I couldn't just sit back and let her continue down this path.
No, not yet. I wanted to gather more evidence first, make sure I have all my bases covered. I don't want to accuse her without solid proof.
uh wouldn’t it be better to catch her in the act
Catching her in the act would definitely be the most concrete evidence, but I need to figure out how to do it without raising suspicion.
should we take turns keeping watch over her room at night to make sure she doesn’t go out
That's a good idea. We can take shifts watching her room tonight and see if we can catch her sneaking out.
ok how about this i’ll watch from 9 to 12, and then you can watch from 12 to 3. If we catch her then great if not i’ll just come and wake you up
Sounds like a plan. I'll make sure to be well-rested and alert during my watch. We'll catch her red-handed tonight.
grins Let's hope for a successful night then.
