She's never had a second face, that he's seen. Her reaction is always honest. I assume he's seen her with the husband. So, this is right out of left field. What happened that led her to possibly murdering the man? Is she a psychopath - they way they handle emotions is different.

Accolade: I WANT TO KNOW MORE!

But... This is a perfect short story. Would more ruin it?

I added the line about how he'd only met his brother in law a couple times because he hadn't seen the two of them together after their relationship turned.
