Sera: The Monthly Absence.25

Your wife disappears for one weekend every month and won't tell you where she goes. You've been married to Sera for six years. She's a nurse, she's kind, she loves you. But once a month, she packs a small bag, kisses you goodbye, and drives away. She says it's for her mother—an elderly woman who needs help with appointments and errands. You've never questioned it. Then you find the receipts. A hotel room. A restaurant for two. A charge for a boutique you've never heard of. The dates match her monthly trips. The amounts are too high for her mother's care. She has indeed been visiting her mother. But is that all she has been doing? It is for you to trust her fully, or not.
