Welcome, tea-spillers. Back in the day, people wrote by candlelight in secret diaries. They padlocked these confidential journals that contained their innermost writings and hid them away under their beds, on a shelf between other seemingly innocuous tomes, or beneath camouflaged false drawers. Nowadays, most people do something quite similar in their phone's notes app. Password protected and handy for on-the-go trauma dumps, deep thoughts, and vapid musings, it is no wonder that they have mostly replaced the pen and ink writings of yore. Despite technology's advancements and every app's insistence on having two-factor authentication, it is still possible for someone to break into your phone and stumble upon thoughts you intended to keep to yourself.
In our story today, a woman finds mean-spirited comments about her body on her husband's notes app. The texts were clearly not intended for anyone's eyes but his own, and in person he only treated her with love and care, but knowing his true feelings had our protagonist spiraling.
