My Husband Went on a Business Trip Right Before Christmas — on Christmas Eve, I Found Out He Lied and Was Actually in Our City

At least, that was what I believed until Christmas Day when the world I knew crumbled to pieces.

“Andrea, I need to tell you something,” Shawn began, nervously tapping his fingers on the kitchen counter. “My boss called. I need to go to Boston for an unexpected client emergency.”

“During Christmas?” I asked, my eyes widening in disbelief.

“You’ve never had to travel on Christmas before,” I said, curling my hands around my coffee mug for warmth. “Isn’t there someone else who can handle it?”

“I promise I’ll make it up to you. We’ll celebrate our own Christmas together when I get back.”

I attempted a smile, but I couldn’t shake the heavy disappointment in my chest. “When are you leaving?”

“Tonight. I’m so sorry, honey.”
