Two weeks into her marriage, Sarah\u2019s life with Jake takes a sudden turn when he accuses her of cheating after \u201csmelling cologne\u201d in their bedroom. Jake\u2019s mother had been in a car accident, and he went to stay with her for the surgery. When Jake returned home, he insisted there was a man in their apartment due to the scent. Despite Sarah\u2019s explanations, he changed the locks and stopped answering her calls.<\/p>\n
After reaching out to Jake\u2019s brother, Nick, Sarah learns Jake believes she cheated. Jake’s texts accuse her of bringing another man into their bed and even mention an annulment. However, Sarah realizes the “cologne” smell was from lemon-cedarwood wipes she used to cover up the smell of fish. She texts Jake, but when he doesn\u2019t respond, she waits until he finally shows up at her mom’s house, apologizing.<\/p>\n
Despite his apology, Sarah struggles with how quickly Jake turned on her, changing the locks and believing the worst without communication. After a week of his texts, she decides to leave, realizing that love doesn\u2019t involve such quick betrayals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
