Second in Silence
"Emily wanted me to help with the wedding, but I suggested she go with a professional.
"I mean, I've never been married myself, so I'm not exactly an expert."
I finished, locking eyes with the man in front of me, memorizing every flicker across his face.
However, my heart sank.
No guilt, no remorse, not even a twitch.
'Makes sense, I guess. He's had three years to perfect his act. Why would he slip up now?' I thought.
If I had not accidentally overheard that conversation outside his study...
I would still be in the dark, completely duped by his act from three years back.
