PHOTO
John had always loved how Iris looked. He loved her hair, her vivacious curves, her playful half-smile. When she sent him a photo of herself on that day, he was reminded once again of her beauty. But then he saw something in the photo that instantly let him know the life he was leading with her was a lie.
Iris wasn’t wearing her wedding ring. He took a closer look and saw that she had removed it from her left hand. As soon as he noticed that he noticed something else. The way Iris was posing for the photo was different. It was impersonal. He realised suddenly that she was posing for a dating app photo. He was crushed and couldn’t believe how bad she’d been at covering her tracks.
