“Sit down, Ryan,” Patricia said quietly. Her voice carried more disappointment than anger, and somehow that hurt more.
Ryan looked at me, eyes wild. “Emily, what did you do?”
I finally spoke. “I told the truth.”
Detective Reynolds stood up slowly. “Ryan Carter, we’re here to discuss two things. First, your ongoing affair with a colleague, which your wife has documented with messages, photos, and hotel receipts.” He nodded toward the folder on the table. “Second, and more serious—last night’s assault.”
Ryan laughed nervously. “This is ridiculous. It was a marital argument.”
Detective Reynolds’ voice hardened. “Mrs. Carter sought medical attention. Her injuries were photographed. There’s also a neighbor who heard the impact and her scream.”
Patricia closed her eyes. “Ryan… I raised you better than this.”
Ryan turned to her desperately. “Mom, you don’t understand—she provoked me.”
That was the moment something broke inside Patricia. She stood up, hands shaking.
