When I discovered a mysterious note in my husband Denton’s old coat, its cryptic message and phone number set off a whirlwind of suspicion. Denton had casually mentioned donating the coat, but the note, which read “This is between us. No one else can know,” made me question everything. After a tense day, I called the number and was directed to a grand mansion for an appointment. There, I was greeted by a woman who hinted at a secret, but it wasn’t until Denton appeared, surprising me for our 10th anniversary, that the truth came out. The note, phone call, and mansion were all part of his elaborate plan to recreate the romantic atmosphere of where we first met. His surprise, aided by our children and a helper named Rebecca, was meant to remind me of our love. Relieved, I realized how my doubts had almost overshadowed the beautiful gesture.
