Katie’s Unvoiced Fears
Katie’s thoughts wandered into the realm of “what ifs.” What if David’s suspicions drove a permanent wedge between them? What if the trust they had built over years dissolved into nothingness? She shuddered at the thought of their relationship deteriorating beyond repair. She wanted to scream, to tell David everything, yet something held her back. It was a complex mesh of fear, guilt, and a desperate hope that she could fix things without shattering their lives further. As Bailey snuggled closer, Katie silently wished for a miracle that would restore their bond and bring back the trust they once shared.

He made a stop at the security store on his way home and purchased a small, easily hidden surveillance camera. He intended to conceal it in the restroom so he could hear and see what Katie was actually doing there.
