When things fall apart after cheating on her.

The text is as cold as a mortician’s slab. It is foreboding. You have not spoken to Carol since you came back from the short vacation. You have put off all meetings with Cindy, who is insistent that she has to see you urgently. She has invited herself to your place over the weekend. Now you have to invent an excuse; anything short of killing an imaginary uncle and attending the funeral...

First things first. This text from Carol doesn’t sound good. For two hours you have not done anything productive. She wants to see you ASAP. And “things are not OK.” You are alarmed. It can only be one thing. You walk out the office at 4 o’clock, feigning a freaky headache. You know the kind of mess you have walked yourself into.
