Thursday Night Secrets

I wasn’t trying to catch my boyfriend cheating. I was just borrowing his charger.

We’d been together almost three years. Same apartment. Same routines. I unplug his phone,

and a notification lights up — not a message… just a calendar alert. It said: “Thursday

— don’t be late.” At first I laughed. I thought it was work. But Thursday nights

were the only nights he never came home before midnight. A week later, I noticed he’d started

showering the second he got back. Phone locked. Always face-down. When I joked about

it, he said, “You watch too many TikToks.” Then his location

glitched one night. It showed him five minutes away… while he was supposedly still at the office.
