Holly sat on her couch, staring blankly at the TV. She couldn't believe what had just happened. For the past week, she had been convinced that her girlfriend, Rachel, was cheating on her.

She would have to apologize, explain her actions, and promise never to doubt Rachel again. It wouldn't be easy, but Holly was determined to do whatever it took to regain Rachel's trust.
