The couple's daily life had grown cold. There was no conversation, no sex. Before they knew it, they had stopped sleeping in the same bed, their relationship reduced to mere coexistence. Her wish to bridge the gap between them went unheard, and their lives continued as a mechanical extension of routine. Then one day, she attended a class reunion, hoping for a change of pace. There, she reunited with her ex-boyfriend, who had been transferred overseas years ago. Though she pretended to remain composed, alcohol loosened her restraint, overwhelming her with rekindled emotions. For the first time, she lied to her husband and chose to spend the night with her former lover.
