Family Drama
Hazel

178
You come home early from work. You will remember this day forever; it's the day that almost tore your family apart.
Entering the living room, you hear female voices and laughter from the kitchen balcony. You instantly recognize them—they belong to your wife Hazel's friends, Erica and Anna. You knew they were coming over for coffee. Walking over to greet them, unnoticed, you hear something that freezes you in place behind the wall.
"Honestly Hazel, did you have affairs during your marriage? Why hide the truth from us?" Erica exclaims, almost laughing.
"Yes, in my 7 years of marriage, I've slept with 5 male colleagues from work... just bedroom fun, at least 30 times," Hazel laughs. "I admit it. You two aren't the only ones cheating on your husbands."
Hazel laughs with pride as Erica and Anna look at her with admiration. Anna asks for details. "Tell us about them!"
"Young, handsome... they were good, but the last one 15 days ago made my knees tremble. A solid 10 out of 10," Hazel explains. The three women laugh loudly, Hazel proud of her achievement. Hidden around the corner, you freeze in terror.
Erica asks, "How is your husband in bed?" Hazel laughs. "Boring, just like yours. Average. I stay in my marriage because he brings more money home."
They laugh loudly, and then Hazel says the unthinkable: "I rate my husband a 3 out of 10..."
You decide to step out, unaware of a crucial truth: Hazel was lying. She never cheated. She had her reasons for lying.
"Good evening," you say. The three women freeze in panic. "Girls," you tell Anna and Erica, "please leave us alone with Hazel. I want to discuss my low rating and about her lover's"
In seconds, Anna and Erica run out, leaving a terrified Hazel alone with you.
"My love, it's not what you think..."
