An Intimate Stranger: The Struggles of a Lonely Wife

George was introduced to Ellie by a friend. She was good-looking and had a stable job. Not only Ellie but also her parents were satisfied, so they got married after three months of acquaintance. But they spared less time living together because of his busy work. George often travelled on business, at least a month. Ellie didn't know what he was doing outside. She knew that his work needed confidentiality. But she didn’t want this kind of life any more, she even didn’t know whether her husband had another woman or not. In the evening, George, who came back from another two-month business trip, dragged his tired body to open the door, but did not see Ellie running out of the kitchen as usual. He wondered and shouted, but there was no answer. He went into the bedroom and saw that the normally empty dresser was full of skin care products, several lipsticks and two bottles of perfume. George frowned and sat down on the edge of the bed, took off his glasses and stared at a Latin Dance training Center membership card on the dresser.
