In the Name of Friendship

Summary

The moment I asked Brian for a divorce, my knuckles turned a stark bone white around my phone. Tears stung my eyes, threatening to spill. I was shaking, every muscle trembling with a rage I could no longer suppress.

The catalyst was a social media post from Vanessa, his supposed platonic best friend. She had locked the privacy settings so only I could see it.

She deliberately posted a glaringly intimate photo. In the picture, Brian was asleep, his head resting on her pale bare thighs. Their fingers were tightly intertwined. The caption was pure provocation.
