Duncan had just returned from a week-long business trip. As always, he brought home treats from his family’s favorite bakery, ready to surprise his wife Emmie and their 10-year-old daughter, Leila. Everything seemed normal—until Leila quietly said something over ice cream that made his heart skip a beat. “I saw a ghost in the house, Daddy. He was standing by the stairs at night.” Duncan brushed it off as a child’s imagination, but what he found later that day proved otherwise. As he opened the closet to unpack his suitcase, Duncan froze. Hidden between his shirts and Emmie’s dresses was a man—an older, man—buttoning up his shirt. Duncan exploded, calling for his wife. Shocked, Emmie came running and gasped at the sight. She clearly had no idea who he was either. “That’s the ghost!” Leila cried from the hallway, hiding behind her mom. Before they could even process it, Emmie’s mother, Marie, walked in and stopped cold. “Tony? You’re still here?” she asked. The truth came crashing down—Tony wasn’t a ghost. He was Marie’s secret lover. She had been sneaking him into her daughter’s house while, babysitting Leila. The man her granddaughter thought was a ghost had been lurking around the house. Emmie was devastated. “You brought your affair into our home? Around our child?” she asked, stunned. Marie begged them not to tell her husband—Emmie’s father. “Please, I just needed some happiness. But he can’t know.” Now the family is torn: Do they keep Marie’s secret? Or tell the truth and risk destroying the family further? Duncan is shaken, but focused on protecting Leila. “Whatever happens next, I’ll stand by Emmie.” 👀 What would you do if your child saw a ‘ghost’ that turned out to be someone’s hidden affair? Should Emmie tell her father the truth?
