Glenn was a decisive man. If something needed to be done, he did it. If a problem needed to be solved, he solved it. If he wanted something, he usually didn't spend much time thinking about it. He made a decision and moved forward. Barbara had admired that quality when they first married. She liked [...]
For eight years, Lily had been keeping a secret. It wasn't an affair. It wasn't a secret bank account. It wasn't another man. It was a diary.
