My husband, who is an award-winning actor, brought an escort girl with him home. The paparazzi took pictures of the whole thing. The internet blew up overnight. Every trending topic was waiting for a statement from me, who was his wife. The next day, I went live barefaced, eyes red, voice trembling as I apologized. I said, "I'm sorry, honey. It's my fault. I forgot to leave your allergy meds by the bed last night. That's why your skin flared up and you had to go to the hospital. Miss Row kindly took you there, but she ended up getting dragged into all this." While apologizing, I "accidentally" knocked a stack of papers off the table. A hospital report, stamped bright red, slid into view. One page flipped over, perfectly facing the camera. At the top was the name of a men's hospital at our city. The patient Name: [Derick Shorts]. Aat the bottom, a column was circled in glaring red. It read: [Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD): Positive.] The livestream froze right there.
