00:00My girlfriend was visiting her parents for the weekend.
00:03At least, that's what she told me.
00:05The first day seemed normal.
00:07She texted me all morning.
00:09Then that evening, she sent me a selfie.
00:12Just a random photo.
00:14Smiling.
00:14Sitting in what looked like a hotel room.
00:17I almost replied with a heart.
00:19Then something caught my eye.
00:20The mirror behind her at first.
00:22I couldn't tell what I was looking at.
00:24So I zoomed in, and my stomach dropped.
00:27There was a man sitting on the bed.
00:29Only half of him was visible.
00:31But that wasn't the worst part.
00:33I recognized him.
00:34He was my best friend.
00:35I called her immediately.
00:37No answer.
00:38I called him.
00:39No answer.
00:40Then I checked social media, and found a photo my friend had posted an hour earlier.
00:45Same hotel.
00:46Same room.
00:47Same weekend.
00:48That's when I realized.
00:50She hadn't gone to visit her parents.
00:52They'd gone away together.
