Diana was grappling with depression when she stumbled upon her worst fear realized — she caught her husband and her sister sharing a kiss. She turned to her therapist, Dr. Carrey, for support. However, what seemed like a routine therapy session revealed a horrifying detail from Diana’s phone.
Diana arrived home to hear laughter from her husband, Hamilton, and her sister in the bathroom. Peering through the slightly open door, she saw their reflection as they kissed in the mirror.
Her thoughts whirled, and she recoiled in shock. This couldn’t be real!
“Hamilton! I saw you two kissing! You and Evie, come out right now!” she yelled, gathering her courage. Receiving no reply, she burst into the bathroom to find her husband by himself.
“Where is she? Where is Evie?!” she demanded.
“She isn’t here, Diana,” Hamilton replied calmly. “You always do this after seeing your therapist. You need to stop. I was preparing a surprise for you, and you’ve spoiled it! Please, stop torturing yourself… and me.”
Diana refused to believe him.
She scoured the bathroom, incredulous that Evie was nowhere to be found.
“Do you trust me now?” Hamilton inquired. “There’s no one here.”
Despite his words, Diana persisted. She searched other rooms but found no one. Hamilton suggested she might be stressed or hallucinating, and for a moment, Diana believed him. However, a splash from the bathroom reignited her suspicion. Could Evie have hidden in the bathtub?
She rushed back but found the bathroom empty again. “How?” she puzzled. “I heard it… I heard the splash. Someone was here!”
Hamilton, standing by the doorway, exhaled deeply. “There’s nobody here, honey. Please, relax!”
Feeling defeated, Diana slumped. Was she losing her mind?
“I… I’m sorry. I don’t know what came over me. I’ve just been so exhausted,” she confessed, ashamed. “I was certain I saw Evie here!”
Hamilton soothed her. “Let’s put this behind us, okay? We need to address what’s really troubling you. So, what’s going on?”
