Don't You Believe Me?

Will someone not wonder what you are about,
If the truth remains hidden and does not come out?
An opportunity to get your husband the £10,000 that he owed.
Does that not sound good? Is that not what Kelly would have thought, and gone along with, when presented with this once in a lifetime offer?
But those who presented her with this opportunity, were they really her friends? Were they thinking of her? Or, were they using her, and thought only of themselves?
And what of the malicious gossip going on in the background, accusations of which she was totally unaware.
If only she had told her husband the truth right from the start, then all the uncertainty and mistrust would not have ensued.
But she did not. She wanted everything to be a surprise. Thinking it was the right thing to do but she kept quiet. And the quieter she kept, the more guilty she appeared...
As Christmas drew near she decided to tell him the truth. But had she left it too late?
Her nonsensical story, her ridiculous version of events sounded so far-fetched and absurd.
After all of this time, after all of the secrecy, was she expecting too much to imagine that he would believe her?
