I FOUND A PHONE NUMBER & A NOTE SAYING, "THIS IS BETWEEN US. NO ONE ELSE CAN KNOW," IN MY HUSBAND'S COAT — I WAS BLUFFING WHEN I DIALED THE NUMBER TO GET TO THE BOTTOM OF IT
I was happy in my marriage. One morning, as our two kids played nearby, I began tidying up the house. My husband, Denton, had already left for work, and the night before, he’d added an old coat to the donation pile.
As I sorted through the pile, my hand brushed against something in the coat’s pocket. Curious, I pulled out a small, folded note. The handwriting was neat but hurried, and as I read the words, a chill ran through me:
"THIS IS BETWEEN US. NO ONE ELSE CAN KNOW."
On the back was a phone number.
I froze, questions racing through my mind. Who wrote this? What was Denton hiding? That night, I acted normal, even as the note burned in my pocket. Denton laughed with the kids and kissed me goodnight as if nothing was wrong.
The next morning, after he left, I dialed the number.
"Hello?" a woman answered.
"I'D LIKE TO BOOK YOUR SERVICES!" I blurted, unsure if my bluff would work.
"If you have my number, you know the payment terms," she replied. "Come tomorrow at 2 p.m." And she gave me the address.
The next afternoon, as I stepped out of the taxi at 2 p.m., I was taken aback. "THIS IS NOT AT ALL WHAT I EXPECTED!" I thought, climbing the steps.⬇️
