Synopsis

A married man reaches out from a lonely hotel room to a family friend who has always trusted him. What begins as harmless reassurance deepens into late-night confessions, until one hypothetical changes everything: “If I were single…”

Her reply lingers. So does the silence that follows.

Will they ever cross the line? How close is too close?

Note from author

Good men don’t plan to betray anyone. They convince themselves they’re being kind. They call it harmless. And by the time they realize what they’ve done, the line is already behind them.
