My name is Brooke. I thought I knew everything about my boyfriend. Turns out, I don't even know which one of us he's actually dating.
Marcus and I met on a dating app eight months ago. He was charming, attentive, almost too perfect. The kind of guy who remembers your coffee order and texts good morning every day.
I fell fast. Maybe too fast.
We moved in together after six months. Everyone said it was too soon. I didn't care. When you know, you know. Right?
Last Tuesday, I knew something else entirely.
Marcus was in the shower. His phone buzzed on the nightstand. I glanced over — not snooping, just instinct.
The screen lit up with a notification. A text from someone named "B" with a heart emoji.
"Last night was incredible. Can't wait to see you again, baby."
