A Woman Sat Next to Her Husband’s Ex on a Flight—By the Time They Landed, Her Marriage Was Over

An unexpected question

Then, she asked about my husband, her tone casual but laced with a hint of knowing. “How’s he doing these days?” she said, her nonchalance just calculated enough to spark my curiosity. A flicker of unease ran through me—was this genuine interest or something else? “He’s good,” I replied, keeping my voice as steady as I could. The air shifted subtly, her next words carrying an unspoken weight that lingered between us.

Travel memories

The conversation took an awkward turn when she brought up a trip they had shared. “Do you remember that weekend in Napa?” she asked, her tone tinged with nostalgia. I blinked, working to keep my expression neutral. “He’s never spoken much about it,” I replied carefully, my thoughts racing. Her words lingered in the silence, and for the first time, the polite exchanges between us felt like a delicate facade, ready to shatter at any moment.
