I used to think betrayal would be obvious—lipstick on a collar, a suspicious text, a stranger’s perfume lingering on his shirt.

My coworkers gasped, their faces glowing with envy as the receptionist carried the vase into our office. “For you,” she smiled, setting them on my desk. For a moment, my heart swelled.
