Daniel and Amanda were celebrating their anniversary, they had been married for 12 years, they seemed a happy marriage, but in reality their lives had become a routine. Amanda had dedicated herself to being more mother than wife.
Daniel meets a girl, chemistry was done to each other, she gave him the attention he did not have at home. Amanda began to notice his change, he did not look for her as before, but his behavior was the same.
Daniel deep down did not want to lose his marriage, but Amanda somehow pushed him into the arms of the other.
One day Daniel would go out with his friends, Amanda was not very convinced and asked if there was another person, he denied it and changed the conversation, she insisted and asked for sincerity, saying:
- If you're going to lie, be brief!
He looked her in the eyes and said:
- There is nobody, but if you do not change, I do not promise you otherwise!
I think I was brief.
