You Betrayed Me for a Traitor

My wife got back from her so-called business trip and snuggled up to me, but I pulled away.

I'd been sick as hell a couple of days ago, and I still felt like a ghost.

But my own wife didn't even give a damn about my pale face or the mountain of meds clattering on the nightstand.

Displeased, she cursed and reached for her phone to dial up that childhood 'friend' of hers.

"Hey, where you at? I'm in a crap mood. Come cheer me up!"
