He Stayed Over, She Cheated

Title: I Let My Best Friend Stay Over. I Wish I Hadn’t. Storyline:

My best friend lost his job, so I told him he could crash at my place for a few

weeks. My girlfriend said she didn’t mind. At first, everything felt

normal. Then I noticed small things. They’d stop talking when I entered the

room. She started dressing nicer—even on days I wasn’t home. He suddenly knew

her coffee order. One night, I came home early from work. Their shoes were

by the door. Two pairs. The bedroom was quiet. Too quiet.

I didn’t open the door. I just stood there, listening to my own heartbeat.
