When Nancy finds a hidden letter in her husband David’s laundry, her world falls apart. The letter, in David’s handwriting, invites another woman to celebrate their “seven-year anniversary.” Nancy is devastated, realizing this secret relationship began years ago.

Laundry had always been Nancy’s task. David avoided it, grimacing at the idea of dealing with hair in the drain. “Still gross,” he’d say. Yet, the routine of laundry was comforting to Nancy—until it revealed more than just dirt.

Nancy decides to confront David at Obélix, the upscale restaurant mentioned in the letter. On the chosen night, she sees David meeting the woman in red, named Isabelle. Isabelle, shocked by Nancy’s appearance, reveals David had lied, claiming he and Nancy were separated but on good terms for the children.

Nancy’s confrontation is raw. “I’m Nancy, David’s wife of almost eighteen years.” Isabelle, distressed, says, “I had no idea!” David is speechless, caught between the two women. Nancy’s heartbreak is profound, and she decides to divorce David, insisting he explains the situation to their daughters. She leaves, knowing she must be strong for her girls despite the impending upheaval.
