Lenora

Lenora's world was like one of the many romance novels she devoured. Except there was a problem...she suspected her husband Robert having an affair! It couldn't be possible, could it? She adored her hard-working husband Robert, and they had the perfect marriage-except she was convinced he was keeping secrets. Something lately seemed off in their relationship. Instead of spending romantic time together, they started to grow apart and Robert began to spend more time away from home. She herself had started to fantasize about the next door neighbor, something was off in their perfect world. Her romantic world has on the verge of collapse. Her doubts were becoming louder and louder in her trusting mind. She recalled how her father had had affairs on her mother, how their relationship ended in a bitter divorce. She painfully remembered how it all came to light after her father frequently started staying away from home - just like Robert was doing now. And then it dawned on her. There was a pattern and it was repeating itself with her husband, with her beloved Robert. She had a moment of classic eureka! Oh my God! She thought. "He's having an affair!" Lenora sets out to spy on her husband and gets more than she ever bargained. Lenora, a short story by Catherine Burr.
