One phone call nearly shattered everything. A woman answers her husband Nick’s phone while he’s out, only to hear a school say his daughter needs to be picked up. Except… they don’t have a daughter. Panicked and suspicious, she investigates—thinking the worst: a secret child, a second life. But when she follows him on a Saturday run, what she finds shocks her more: it’s all exactly as he said. Real friends. Real training. No secret daughter.The call? A simple mix-up—his friend had borrowed Nick’s phone to contact his own kid’s school. The number got saved in their system. Relief, laughter, and a whole lot of explaining follow.Now, every run ends with a joke: “Off to see my secret family!”And she cheers at the marathon finish line—realizing some trust issues just need a jog to work themselves out.
