My husband, Adam, surprised me with a manicure appointment, but little did I know, it would lead to a shocking discovery. During the session, my manicurist, Lily, shared stories about her new lover, and I couldn’t help but think the worst about Adam.
Lily’s tales of romance and luxury caught my attention, especially when she mentioned her mystery man’s dimples. Adam has dimples, and he’s a manager, just like Lily’s lover. My mind started racing.
I asked to see a picture of Lily’s new beau, hoping to ease my paranoia. But when I saw Adam’s smile on her phone, my world crumbled. I felt betrayed.
I forced a calm demeanor, but inside, I was seething. I started plotting revenge with Lily’s husband, James. We concocted a plan to catch Adam and Lily together at a hotel.
Before heading to the hotel, we stopped at a hardware store for unwashable paint. James was hesitant, but I was determined.
Upon arrival, I burst into the hotel room, paint cans in hand, ready to confront the cheating pair. Instead, I found a birthday party.
The room was filled with balloons, streamers, and loved ones yelling “Surprise!” Adam explained that they’d been planning this for weeks.
I was overwhelmed with relief and embarrassment. “I thought you were cheating,” I confessed.
Adam laughed, wiping away my tears. “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have gone that far with the plan.”
The party was a success, filled with laughter and heartfelt toasts. As we left the hotel, we found
“CHEATER!!!!” scrawled across Adam’s car windshield in bright red lipstick.
Adam chuckled. “It’s washable. Besides, it’s a good story to tell our kids one day!”
As we cleaned the car together, I couldn’t help but laugh too. This birthday surprise was one I’d never forget.
