However, a perplexing question still lingered: who was the stranger at their front door? This person had been calling Zoe’s name and demanding to see her. Even the police officers seemed intrigued by this. “Let’s check the doorbell footage, George”, Zoe suggested. “Maybe I’ll recognize him, especially since he was asking for me.” They all gathered at the kitchen table to review the doorbell footage.

He had been suspicious, but it seemed there was a rational explanation for the stranger’s presence. However, when she began to speak, he felt like the ground could have opened up beneath him. How could he have had so little trust in his wife?
