\nStrange. If he is already home, why isn\u2019t he coming up?<\/i><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n\n
I crept down barefoot, trying not to make a sound on the wooden stairs. The guest bathroom light was on. Water was running. But that wasn\u2019t what caught my attention. It was the buzzing phone.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n\u201cJessie calling\u2026\u201d<\/strong><\/i><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n\n
Her name flashed brightly on the screen, along with a photo of a woman with perfect teeth, a perky ponytail, and a button-down shirt with the school logo.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Wait a second\u2026 is that\u2026?<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
Yes. That was Jason\u2019s new teacher!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
I sat down on the staircase, my legs suddenly too weak to hold me up.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Seriously? You\u2019re sleeping with our son\u2019s school teacher?<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
And you even had the nerve to save her photo as her contact picture? When did this even happen?<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
I stared at the bathroom door. My hand inched toward the phone.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
But\u2026 I\u2019m not the type who breaks doors or screams bloody murder. That\u2019s never been me.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
No. If there was a truth to be found, I\u2019d find it. Quietly. My way.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
***<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
I sat across from my best friend Lana in our usual Friday caf\u00e9 \u2014 well, my usual. In those days, Daniel never had the time. The cappuccino in front of me was already lukewarm. My spoon just circled the foam.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u201cI just\u2026 I don\u2019t even recognize myself anymore,\u201d I said, my voice shaky as I blinked back tears.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Lana leaned forward, gently rolling her eyes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n\u201cOh, come on\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u201cEspecially on Fridays,\u201d I pressed on, my throat tightening. \u201cRemember how it used to be our night?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u201cLet me guess. Now he\u2019s always \u2018working late\u2019?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
I exhaled slowly into the steam of my drink.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u201cEvery Friday. Says it\u2019s school duty. Some afterschool club or another.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n\u201cBut\u2026?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n
\n
I hesitated, then leaned in. My voice dropped to a whisper.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u201cBut yesterday\u2026 his phone buzzed while he was in the bathroom. And I saw the name.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Lana froze.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n\u201cGo on.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u201cIt said Jessie calling. With a photo. A woman smiling like she\u2019d just stepped out of a toothpaste ad. Ponytail. School logo on her shirt.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
I paused.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u201cIt was Jason\u2019s new teacher.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Lana\u2019s eyes widened.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n\u201cNooo.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
She slapped the table lightly.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u201cOh, no no no. That\u2019s not just school duty. That\u2019s extracurricular drama. Okay. You need to do something.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u201cMe?\u201d I nearly choked on foam. \u201cLana, I still blush when I tell Jason Santa Claus is real. I can\u2019t even lie to my cat without tearing up!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u201cPerfect. Because you won\u2019t have to lie. Just\u2026 clean a little.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n\u201c\u2026What?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u201cOne of our cleaning girls called in sick. The school made a request. My husband runs the service, remember?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u201cYeah, but\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u201cI\u2019ll tell him we\u2019re sending a replacement. Someone new. You.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
I stared at her like she\u2019d lost her mind.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n\u201cYou want me to become a janitor?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u201cJust for a week! I\u2019ll even give you a disguise. My party wig\u2014red and curly. A name badge. No one will recognize you. It\u2019s your chance to snoop without looking suspicious.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
I let out a half-laugh, half-wheeze.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u201cI\u2019ve been scrubbing our floors for fifteen years. Maybe it\u2019s time I go professional.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u201cExactly!\u201d Lana winked. \u201cYou\u2019ve got all the experience. You\u2019re just switching locations.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
My brain was screaming.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
What if someone recognizes me? What if Daniel sees me?<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
Or worse\u2026<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
What if I see something I can\u2019t unsee?<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
I let out a long groan, dropping my head into my hands.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u201cOh my God. I can\u2019t believe I\u2019m considering this. I haven\u2019t even pretended to be someone else since I wore bunny ears to Jason\u2019s Easter play.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u201cHoney, those bunny ears were iconic. This? This will be legendary.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
And just like that\u2026 Operation \u201cClean Up the Truth\u201d was born.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
***<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
The following morning, I made breakfast like always, left Daniel a note saying I had errands to run, and trusted he\u2019d take Jason to school.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Meanwhile, I rushed across town to Lana\u2019s house. Her hallway smelled like freshly ironed laundry, coffee, and expensive coconut perfume.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
I, on the other hand, smelled like nerves, standing in front of her mirror and staring at myself.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u201cI don\u2019t look like me,\u201d I whispered, tugging at the red wig. \u201cI look like a lunch lady who yells \u2018everyone in line!\u2019 three times before collapsing.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u201cExactly!\u201d Lana beamed, fastening the collar of my oversized navy uniform. \u201cI\u2019m so proud of you.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n\u201cUhh\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u201cPerfect disguise,\u201d Lana continued, clicking a name badge onto my chest. \u201cNo one suspects the janitor.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
I glanced down. It read:\u00a0\u201cKacey\u201d<\/strong><\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
My shoes were orthopedic. My gloves stuck out of my pocket like I was about to commit a chemical heist. I was a mop away from a sitcom.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n\u201cYou\u2019re sure no one will recognize me?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Meanwhile, Lana stuffed a walkie-talkie into my hand.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u201cHoney, you look like a school ruler \u2014 everyone\u2019s seen one, no one remembers what it looks like.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
***<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Thirty minutes later, her car screeched to a halt behind the school. Silence. Mist. And the faint smell of boiled sausages \u2014 must\u2019ve been coming from the cafeteria.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u201cYou\u2019ve got this,\u201d Lana said, unclicking my seatbelt like she was sending me to war.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u201cYou\u2019re Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman. But instead of red boots, you\u2019ve got bleach and a backup mop.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u201cOh, fabulous. Pretty Woman with floor cleaner.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u201cIf anything goes wrong, hit the panic button. Or just run.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
She flung open the door and literally shoved me out.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n\u201cGood luck, Agent Kacey. Kacey doesn\u2019t panic. Kacey mops.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n
\n
***<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
The school security guard barely looked up.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u201cNew one?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n\u201cMhm.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u201cDon\u2019t use the staff microwave. Smells like fish.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Cool.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
My heart hammered like I\u2019d just robbed a bank. Every step down the hallway echoed louder than it should. A group of middle schoolers walked past. One girl leaned in to the other.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u201cWho is she?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n\u201cShe\u2019s a liar\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Oh no. They know. They all know. They can SEE through me.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
I turned, ready to faint. But those two girls were just munching chips and giggling.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u201c\u2026and my mom puts raisins in potato salad. I told her that\u2019s like a culinary crime.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Oh. Just raisins in potato salad. Not me. Yet. Paranoia: 1, Reality: 0.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
I sighed and got to \u201cwork.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
***<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
There was no sign of Daniel. All day.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Until the final bell rang. The halls exploded with voices and backpacks. Some kids rushed to clubs, others out the door. And then I saw Jason walking, chewing an apple. He looked healthy. Happy. Alive.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Then I saw Daniel. Heading toward Jason\u2019s classroom. Where the same Jessie who smiled from his phone screen like a toothpaste model, worked.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
I turned on my heel, sucked in my stomach, and pretended the floor near her door was desperately dirty.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
The door creaked open. Jessie\u2019s voice floated out like syrup.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n\u201cYeah, yeah\u2026 tonight, same as always?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Same as always?!<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
My palms went sweaty. My brain screamed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
There it is. The betrayal!<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
And then\u2026<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n\u201cDad?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Jason!<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
My son walked into the classroom.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u201cI forgot my pencil case\u2026\u201d he mumbled, and then\u2026<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
He looked right at me. I flinched. My mop slipped.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
The handle hit my wig, and in a flash, that fiery red thing launched to the ground with a thud.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Jason stared at me.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Oh no. No. No no no.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n\u201cMom?!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Dead. I\u2019m dead.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Daniel looked up at me, startled.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n\u201c\u2026Sweetheart??\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Checkmate, Kacey.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
There I stood. On a freshly mopped floor. Bright red in the face. Heart pounding like the automatic hand dryer in the staff bathroom.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
My husband cheated, yet I was the clown in this comedy of errors.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
I wanted to cry. Instead, I smiled.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u201cHi, honey! Just came to get Jason.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n\u201cYou look\u2026 weird.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u201cI\u2019m coming with you,\u201d Daniel added, stepping closer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u201cOh no, no,\u201d I said sweetly, looking Daniel straight in the eye. \u201cYou\u2019ll stay where you planned to spend your evening.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
I grabbed Jason\u2019s hand and walked out before either of them could say another word. And only when the door shut behind us\u2026 did the tears finally fall.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
I thought I was coming to catch a cheater. But nothing had prepared me for what came next.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
***<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
At home, I was at the peak of my rage. But I had to hide it\u2014at least from my son.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u201cJason, you can skip school tomorrow, don\u2019t even worry about homework. Go watch cartoons.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n\u201cMom! Yay!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u201cSomeone in this house deserves to relax,\u201d I called out over my shoulder, stomping upstairs. \u201cWash your hands and pour yourself some pancakes.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u201cOkay!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
I yanked open the wardrobe and started throwing Daniel\u2019s clothes into a pile.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u201cJeans. Vacation pair. Great! Take a vacation now.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n\u201cSocks\u2026 wow, matched pairs. A miracle.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u201cOh, the \u2018Best Husband Ever\u2019 T-shirt? Sorry, Mr. Marks & Spencer. Today, I\u2019m not in the mood for irony.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
I grabbed the suitcase and dragged it downstairs. I was already lugging the second suitcase onto the porch when I froze mid-step.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
A girl stood in front of the house. Slim, about ten years old. Backpack on one shoulder. Her hair was in neat braids. She twirled on her toes like she\u2019d been waiting forever.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u201cGood afternoon!\u201d she chirped, spotting me.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u201cHello\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n\u201cI came with my Dad.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Excuse me?!<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
I nearly dropped the suitcase. And just then, Daniel stepped out of the car.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n\u201cHi\u2026 I, uh\u2026 Can we come in?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u201cWhat is going on? Who is this girl?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
She was already smiling at me like we were old friends.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u201cMy name\u2019s Sofia.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u201cShe\u2019s my daughter,\u201d Daniel said softly.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
I stared at her. She stared back with big, light eyes. The same ones my husband had. Then Jason peeked around the corner.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n\u201cWhat\u2019s going on?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u201cYou have a guest,\u201d I told him. \u201cBe polite. Your Dad and I need to talk.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
I turned to Sofia.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u201cSweetheart, go join Jason. Cartoons are serious business.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Once they disappeared, I faced Daniel.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n\u201cYou should\u2019ve told me right away.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u201cI know. But I was scared. Jessica\u2026 We used to be together before you. She left and said nothing. Now she\u2019s back.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u201cAnd you?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u201cI don\u2019t want to lose you. Jessie\u2019s married now. She doesn\u2019t want anything from me. Just\u2026 for Sofia to have a father.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u201cEveryone has a past, Daniel. But if this is part of your future, I want Jason to know his sister. Not figure it out the way I did. With wigs and mops.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Daniel smiled gently. \u201cWe were thinking about what school to move her to. Clara was afraid it would be awkward.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n\u201cIt will be right.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n
\n
I was still furious. But deep down, I was relieved. I loved my husband.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u201cI\u2019m going to the kitchen. The kids need milk.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n\u201cOh\u2026 and the suitcase?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n
