I was scrolling through Facebook when I noticed a woman, Ella, repeatedly commenting on my husband Sam\u2019s posts. Her comments felt too familiar. Then, my daughter Lily ran by and recognized her from photos. \u201cThat\u2019s Ella! I see her every week with Dad,\u201d she said, sending a chill through me.\n
I hadn\u2019t meant to snoop, but I couldn\u2019t ignore the strange comments Ella had left, especially one about Lily\u2019s birthday, where she claimed responsibility for Lily\u2019s fairy wings. I checked Ella\u2019s profile and saw that Sam had liked nearly all her photos. When Lily mentioned meeting Ella every Wednesday after school, my heart sank.\n
