I planned to surprise my husband Ben with lunch at work, but I found out he’d been on leave for two weeks. Confused and suspicious, I followed him the next day and saw him visit my sister Kate’s house. I feared the worst—an affair—and called my lawyer for advice.
Watching them, I saw Ben and Kate acting secretive, sharing lunch and papers. I called my brother-in-law James, who came over to talk with them. To my shock, Ben revealed they were planning a surprise for me—a coffee shop he bought with his inheritance, with Kate and James as partners.
My anger turned to tears of joy as I realized Ben’s secret was a gift for my dream. We signed the papers, and the coffee shop became a symbol of trust and love. This experience taught me the power of communication and faith in relationships.
