For twenty-five years, Margaret believed she knew her husband better than anyone else in the world.
Pillows
They had built a life together from humble beginnings. They survived financial struggles, celebrated promotions, bought their first home, and created countless memories that seemed impossible to forget. Like many couples who spend decades together, they developed a comfortable rhythm. They could finish each other’s sentences, predict each other’s reactions, and communicate with a single glance.
Or at least, that is what Margaret believed.
Then came the phone call that changed everything.
Her husband Anthony had collapsed unexpectedly at home and was rushed to the hospital. What followed were two exhausting weeks filled with uncertainty, fear, and endless medical tests. Doctors searched for answers, but every new examination seemed to create more questions.
Throughout those difficult days, Margaret never missed a visit.

Anthony seemed distant.
Not angry.
Not depressed.
