She Planted Cabbages to Signal Her Lover,So I Signed the Divorce PapersChapter 1

"Hey sis, whenever Edmund Dickerson's away on a trip, just plant two cabbages in FarmVille. I'll see it and come over."

I'd come home early. Found the message on Marjorie Swanson's computer by accident.

Every drop of blood in my body turned to ice.

I sat there for a long time, silent, before my trembling hand found the mouse and clicked into her social media feed.

January 17th. Two cabbages planted.

January 25th. Again.

Then February 1st. February 9th.

Every single time, lined up perfectly with my business trips.

It hit me all at once. Last fall, around Thanksgiving, my best friend had come by the house for a visit. Right after that, Marjorie got hooked on FarmVille.

Played it every single day. Couldn't get enough.

I'd teased her about it at the time. Told her nobody played that game anymore.

Now I understood.

I was the one nobody should've been playing.

——

I swallowed everything down and shut the computer off.

That evening, Marjorie came home from work.

She was changing out of her shoes when she spotted me. A flicker of surprise crossed her face.

"Honey, you're back early this time?"
