Introduction
It was a mystery that puzzled me for months. Every time my husband’s phone rang, he would abruptly leave the house. Sometimes he’d be gone for an hour or more, and when he returned, there was always something strange — his clothes smelled faintly of smoke or some other unfamiliar scent. I couldn’t figure out what was going on until I decided to uncover the truth. This is the story of my unexpected discovery and how it brought us closer together.
