John and May were together since high school. They were not in a big romance with her husband, but they were connected deeply, and that was enough for them. As years passed, John started to spend more time away from home, and that was strange for May.
One day, when she was on a break, May went to the local cafe and found her husband with her friend from high school, Lisa.
As Lisa saw May, she jumped on the air and hugged to her as she said that it has been ages.
As John was smiling, May thought that something was off. Her husband explained that he was going to take a coffee and went back to work, but when he saw Lisa he stayed and they talked.
Lisa told her that they bumped into each other as she said, “Crazy coincidence, right?”
Lisa then invited them to the Halloween party she is going to throw. She told them that many of their high school friends will be there.
As May accepted her invitation, John was hesitating. After May talked to him that it’ll be fun, he agreed.
“Fine. If you want to go, we’ll go.”
Two days later, they were at Lisa’s home. Their friends Emma, and May’s best friend Robert was there too.
They hugged to each other as they haven’t seen each other for many years. As they were catching up and laugh, Emma asked if John was okay. When May turned back, she saw John sitting by himself on the corner.
Then they wanted to play truth or dare. It started with silly, innocent questions. Then Lisa asked to May that if she ever went on a date with Robert, her best friend.
They were shocked. May squeaked, “No!”

As May was exhausted, she went to the balcony for she needed some fresh air. Then Lisa joined her and revealed that she was seeing John for a year.
Amy was shocked with the revelation. She then realised the reason why her husband was distancing himself away from her slowly.
Then John appeared while May told her that she was lying. He confirmed it and stated that it was May’s fault.
John told that May lied to her about dating Robert. May was shocked when she heard her husband. Robert came out of nowhere, as it was time to reveal the truth.
Robert revealed that May never went on a date with him back in high school. Then John asked about the party where only May and Robert were missing.
May revealed another truth then. Her father was in prison. No one knew that except Robert. She was ashamed of it so she decided to keep it as a secret. Robert knew that she was panicking about the matter so he told people that they were on a date to cover her lie.
“Why didn’t you tell me?” John asked with guilt, as he realised that he did something horrible behind his wife.
Lisa was in love with Robert. She thought May took him away from her so she decided to seduce her husband. But Robert told her that she never had a chance with him, because in truth, he was in love with May since they first met.
A lie revealed all the truth in their friendship. Damaged May’s marriage to John, and changed her relationship with the man she thought they were best friends.
“I can’t believe it. I… I fell for it. I let this ruin us.” John was devastated.
May told him that they are getting a divorce.
Few months later, Robert and May started their relationship, after that, they got married and welcomed four children.
