I took a job that required me to travel roughly two weekends every month.
One of Tom’s coworkers went on extended medical leave, leaving him with an enormous workload.
By the time he came home each evening, even relaxing felt like something else he had to schedule.
We kept telling ourselves we would start using the hot tub again once things calmed down.
They never did.
So it remained covered.
At least, that was what we thought.
After Lisa’s visit, one question wouldn’t leave my mind.
If we hadn’t been using it…
who had?
The following weekend, Tom installed a camera.
It wasn’t obvious.
He mounted a small unit beneath the garage overhang where it had a clear view of both the hot tub and the gate leading from our backyard into the alley.
The gate had been installed by the previous owners for deliveries.
It only had a simple latch that could be opened from either side.
We had never considered it a security problem.
Until now.
