RE: The Truth Emerges

This story works really well. The dialogue drives it along, and pulls us in. We wonder as we read, can he trust the wife? Is she lying? When she hands the business card over, we wonder, what if it's the boss with whom she is having the affair?

Your ability to infuse doubt, subtly, is the greatest asset of this piece. In the end, our protagonist asserts his trust...for now. He, and we are left perhaps reassured but not exactly confident.

Nicely done, @jessicaossom.
