The man in the shower wasn’t a random intruder. He had been hiding in the guest room for days, unnoticed by both of us. But what shook me most was Matt’s response when I asked how he knew to react so quickly.
His pale face and nervous gaze gave me the answer I never expected:
the man in the bathroom had been someone Matt knew from his past—a past he hadn’t shared with me. The police found out that the intruder had been waiting for an opportunity, but as terrifying as the situation was, Matt’s instincts saved us. That night, as I sat in the quiet car, I couldn’t help but question everything I thought I knew about him—and what other secrets he was still hiding.
