At 62, for the first time I decided to go on vacation alone, without my children. But when my daughter got this photo taken on the beach, she started screaming, “MOM, IMMEDIATELY LEAVE THIS MAN! YOUR LIFE IS IN DANGER!”

I sat on the edge of the bed.

• I want to. But first, I need to talk to my daughter.

I called Sarah.

She replied instantly.

• Mom, are you okay?
• Sarah, tell me something. How do you know Daniel?

My daughter was crying.

“Mom, when Dad was in the hospital, this man was often next to him. One day I saw them together in the hallway. Daddy was crying and Daniel was holding his shoulders.

• So what?
• Then Dad asked Michael and me not to tell you anything.

My heart has squeezed.

• What not to tell?

Sarah fell silent.

• Mom, I can’t explain it on the phone. We’ll come.

I shut down my phone and looked at Daniel for a long time.

• Do you know what she’s talking about?

He sat across from me.
