"Come soon— I have a surprise for you!"
The second message contains an address.
Wow—the most expensive hotel in the city. Did my husband decide to surprise me that much?
I drop everything and rush over.
The door is opened by my friend Masha. She’s in lingerie.
— What are you doing here?
— I’ve wanted to tell you for a long time. Me and Alex are together,—she says, batting her eyes.
My husband comes out of the shower.
— Alena?—he covers himself in fear with a towel. — How did you end up here?
