Then I zoomed in.
Daniel's wedding ring was visible.
So was hers.
A silver band on her left hand.
Matching costumes. Matching rings.
His hand on her waist.
I messaged Rachel, "Who is she?"
Rachel replied, "I don't know. I thought she was you. Daniel said she was his wife. Everyone thought she was his wife."
My hands went cold.
I typed, "Did he call her Melissa?"
"Yes. I'm almost certain."
Another message followed.
"Do you want me to send the other photos?"
There were other photos.
Of course there were.
I wrote, "Yes. Please."
Rachel sent seven.
Daniel and "Melissa" at a table with coworkers.
Daniel holding her hand while someone took a group picture.
Melissa leaning into him during the costume contest.
One where she was kissing his cheek.
Another where Daniel had his arm around her while laughing with his boss.
