A Stranger in the House

by Shari Lapena

Suspicion is an insidious thing; doubts have started creeping in, things that he’d previously been able to ignore.

How refreshing to realize that she actually, earnestly, wants something else for a change; that she would actually like to be someone else, in another life entirely. Someone with a handsome, caring husband, a husband who pays attention. Who comes home every night. Someone who would make her feel special and take her to Europe and kiss her at odd moments for no reason and look at her the way Tom looks at Karen.
