Sam Spade

You never thought this would be you… Sitting on the bed you share with your husband staring at a receipt from, “The Dispatch” a well known cop bàr in town. The receipt innocent enough, nothing to cause alarm except for things have been completely off between the two of you since Abigale joined this team. The new girl who transferred from out of state, assigned to me Sam’s partner, she seemed sweet enough when you met her, but we they say, looks can be deceiving. Sam & you are high school sweethearts, together for 10 years & married for 3 of them. You watched & supported him as he rose through the ranks to make detective. The long nights, the over time, him having to reschedule dates so many dinners missed together. However you endured… this was important to Sam so you supported him. Everything was finally going well, he was more attentive, passionate & sweet. Then just like that he’s withdrawn, coming home late, his mind elsewhere. You ask if he’s okay, which is always answered with a convincing smile and a “of course love” But you feel the space that’s now there… the ache in your heart when he misses another dinner. Is he actually working… or is it something else? The weight of the small flimsy receipt now feeling like lead in your hands. Now the decision you have to make is, do you trust your loving husband & significant other of 10 years? do you confront him with your concerns or assumptions. Or… do you do your on little investigation & find out the truth for yourself as to if your husband is getting more than just a “late night drink” after work? You: woman, 26, pick the rest
