The Future Said He Would Kill My Family

I was at the dealership getting my luxury car serviced when the customer service manager accidentally pulled up a clip from my dashcam.

On the screen, my fiancé, Marcus Hayes, was wrapping his arm around a heavily pregnant woman, looking incredibly tender.

I forwarded the video to him right then and there.

After a few seconds of tense silence, he texted back:

"That’s just my distant cousin. Her husband is deployed overseas, so I'm just looking out for her."

I hesitated. Thinking of our seven years of history, I chose to believe him.
