It was a warm, tranquil afternoon, a moment to savor and appreciate. I found myself in a field, leaning against the truck, relishing the gentle breeze in my hair. Feeling playful, I decided to send my husband a casual photo. Just a simple snapshot of the truck against the backdrop of trees, a little something to brighten his day.

Without much thought, I snapped the picture, standing beside the truck, and sent it off. It was a way to share a slice of my day, an ordinary moment captured in time.

But when his reply came almost instantly, it wasn’t the response I expected. There was a hint of seriousness in his words, sending a shiver down my spine. “Who’s that in the reflection?” he inquired.

Confused, I blinked at my phone. “What reflection?” I texted back, a knot of unease forming in my stomach.

“The rear window. There’s someone there,” he replied, his tone more somber than I had anticipated.
