Some time later, the front door creaked open. Sam entered cautiously and sat down beside Heather. “I’ve been thinking,” he began gently, “and I agree Jackie’s behavior is very strange. I would never do anything to jeopardize our marriage, you have to believe that. But we need to get to the bottom of why she’s acting this way.”
Heather lifted her head. “So you don’t think I imagined everything?”, she said, slightly insecure. “No,” Sam replied. “I think we should watch the footage together. If she’s up to something sinister, we need to find out what it is and keep our family safe.” Relief washed over Heather. They were finally on the same page.
