Everything changed at 3pm that day, altering our lives forever.
When my husband casually mentioned his plan to join a church camping trip with some friends, I shrugged it off. Adventure had always been his forte, while I chose the comfort of home. Yet, as he packed, there was a spark in his eyes that I hadn’t seen for quite some time. With hugs and talk of campfire tales, he departed. The house felt hollow in his absence, leaving me with a restless mind. Then a friend phoned, breezily saying they’d spotted him downtown instead of being far away at the campsite. That’s when I realized I had to uncover the truth.

Her unexpected surprise at my question quickly gave way to a willingness to assist. “It’s interesting you mentioned him,” she replied. “I actually noticed someone resembling him downtown on two occasions! He appeared to be rushing both times, far from his typical relaxed, outdoorsy demeanor, right?”

I believed I knew Tom inside and out, or so I assumed. Not a single idea we tossed around seemed plausible.
