My name is Anna and this is my story…
About a year ago today, I was extremely excited because my best friend from high school told me that she was moving into my neighbourhood in a few months. We’d been so close since high school and I had always trusted her with my life. We used to do everything together in high school and college but since a few years after college, it’d been tough seeing each other often because she lived about 2 hours away from me at the time. So you can imagine how happy I was to hear that her husband got a job at a company close to my home and they figured this was a good time to live close to us.
5 months later my husband and I drove down to their old home to help them move into our neighbourhood. If I had known that my helping them would start the beginning of a dark phase in my life, I would not have helped at all. The move was pretty smooth. We helped them unpack. But I left earlier than my husband as I had to go make dinner for all of us. When dinner was ready, I went over to my best friend’s new home to invite my husband, her and her husband over to my house for dinner. Dinner was so beautiful. We chatted and laughed all night. Also, everyone had seconds so I was really pleased. After dinner, my husband offered to take all the dishes away and wash them. My best friend decided to join him in the kitchen. I was pleased to get some help with that. When they were done, we said our goodbyes and called it a night.
A few days later, while I was at work, my husband called me and mentioned that he was going over to assist my best friend with some furniture setup and wanted to keep me in the loop. I told him that I appreciated him letting me know and then we ended the call. I got back home about 3 hours later and my husband wasn’t home. So I went over to my best friend’s house and saw her and my husband laughing and drinking through the window. I rang the bell and she came to get the door. She was happy to see me and asked me to join them. It was a Friday anyway so I put on my “TGIF” hat and tried not to think about what I just saw.
