00:00It all started the summer Lauren landed her dream job.
00:03After a decade of working long hours and climbing the corporate ladder,
00:07she was finally selected for an international position based in Milan.
00:11For a woman raised in a small town outside of Nashville,
00:15it felt like a dream, an adventure wrapped in a promotion.
00:19Her husband, Matthew, was proud of her.
00:22At least, that's what he told her the day she got the news.
00:26Go show them what you're made of, he said with a tired but sincere smile,
00:31hugging her tight before she boarded her flight.
00:33We'll make it work.
00:34They had been married for six years,
00:36with the typical ups and downs that come with trying to build a life together while also chasing careers.
00:42Lauren worked in international marketing.
00:44Matt was a high school teacher.
00:46They were a team, or so Matt believed.
00:49The time difference was hard at first.
00:51Their calls became less frequent.
00:53Texts grew shorter.
00:54Lauren often said she was tired or in meetings.
00:58Matthew didn't want to become that husband.
01:01The one who gets insecure because his wife was working overseas.
01:05He trusted her.
01:06Or, at least he tried to.
01:08But as weeks turned into months, things started to shift.
01:12Lauren was harder to reach.
01:14Her posts on social media, once full of sweet photos of them together,
01:18started showcasing luxurious dinners, sunsets in Lake Como, and blurry snapshots of her and her co-workers.
01:25One man in particular, a tall, polished Italian named Marco, seemed to appear more and more in the background.
01:34Matthew noticed.
01:34Of course he did.
01:36He wasn't stupid.
01:38He didn't say anything at first.
01:40Instead, he waited, observed, listened.
01:44When Lauren came home for Christmas, she acted different.
01:47She had new perfume, new clothes, and stories that revolved around people Matt had never heard of.
01:53She said she missed him, but her touch was different.
01:57Her laugh didn't linger like it used to.
01:59Still, Matthew welcomed her.
02:02He cooked her favorite meals, organized a surprise trip to Asheville,
02:06and even gave her a custom necklace engraved with their wedding date.
02:10She smiled when she saw it.
02:12But it wasn't the kind of smile that made his heart feel full.
02:15After the holidays, she left again.
02:18And this time, she didn't say,
02:20I'll miss you.
02:21She just said,
02:23I'll text when I land.
02:25That was when Matthew decided to dig deeper.
02:28It didn't take long.
02:29A few careful searches,
02:31one password reset,
02:33Lauren had used the dog's name again,
02:35and suddenly her emails opened up a new world.
02:38There they were,
02:39intimate exchanges,
02:40pictures,
02:41travel bookings.
02:42Marco wasn't just a co-worker.
02:44He was her lover.
02:46The betrayal hit Matthew like a sledgehammer.
02:48But he didn't scream.
02:50He didn't confront her.
02:51He waited.
02:52Over the next two months, he planned.
02:54He played the part of the supportive husband.
02:57Sent care packages.
02:58Wrote heartfelt messages.
03:01He wanted her to stay comfortable in her illusion that she had fooled him.
03:05Meanwhile, he began meeting with a lawyer.
03:07Lauren had no idea that their house, which was in his name, had just quietly gone on the market.
03:13She didn't know that the joint savings account had been legally split after he showed the bank the proof of infidelity.
03:19She didn't know that Matt had already started moving his things into a smaller condo downtown.
03:24One morning, she texted casually, thinking of staying in Milan longer.
03:28Might as well enjoy it a bit more.
03:31Miss you though, Red Heart.
03:33Matthew simply replied,
03:35Do what makes you happy.
03:37She had no clue that within days,
03:39everything she thought she had back home would be gone.
03:41When she finally returned in March, early and unannounced, she pulled into the driveway to find a stranger watering the lawn.
03:50Can I help you?
03:51The woman asked.
03:52Lauren blinked, confused.
03:54I all live here.
03:56Uh, no.
03:57I just bought this place.
03:59You must be mistaken.
04:01Her heart pounded.
04:02She checked the address.
04:04Her hands trembled as she dialed Matthew's number.
04:07It rang once.
04:09Then voicemail.
04:10She tried again.
04:12Straight to voicemail.
04:13Panic set in.
04:15She drove to his school.
04:16Only to be told by the receptionist that Mr. Lewis had taken a leave of absence to travel.
04:22Travel?
04:23Where?
04:23The receptionist just shrugged.
04:26She checked her email.
04:27Her bank account.
04:29And then it all came crashing down.
04:31An email from Matt sat unread, dated three weeks ago.
04:35The subject line.
04:36Goodbye, Lauren.
04:37She clicked.
04:39Lauren.
04:40I know about Marco.
04:41I've known for months.
04:43I watched you fall in love with someone else while I kept waiting for you to remember what we had.
04:48But you didn't.
04:49So, I let you go.
04:51The house is sold.
04:52The accounts are separated.
04:54My heart, too.
04:55Don't contact me.
04:57This is the last kindness I can offer.
05:00Matt.
05:00She dropped the phone.
05:02The next few weeks were a blur for Lauren.
05:04She crashed on a friend's couch, tried to call Marco, who didn't answer, and spiraled into a mess of regret and confusion.
05:11How could Matt have stayed so calm, so cold, so silent?
05:17Eventually, she returned to Milan, but the thrill was gone.
05:21Marco had moved on.
05:23The job felt empty.
05:25She had everything she once thought she wanted, except the man who had loved her without condition.
05:30Back in the U.S., Matthew rebuilt his life.
05:34He started running, joined a book club, met someone kind and honest.
05:39He never posted anything about it.
05:41He didn't need to.
05:42His silence had spoken louder than any confrontation ever could.
05:47And Lauren?
05:47She lived with the echo of that silence every single day.
