Chapter 1: The Morning Everything Changed

My name is Danielle, and I stepped outside yesterday morning with my coffee, heading to my car for the usual commute, when I stopped cold on our front steps.
My husband's car, parked in our driveway exactly where he'd left it the night before, was completely covered in women's lingerie.
Bras and lace draped over the side mirrors, hanging from the door handles, spread across the entire hood like some kind of deranged art installation.
I stood there, coffee mug frozen halfway to my mouth, trying to process what I was actually looking at.
My first thought was some kind of prank, though I couldn't imagine who would do something like this or why they'd choose our driveway.
A few neighbors were already outside for their own morning routines, some pretending not to stare at the scene, others not even bothering to pretend.
My husband came running out the front door behind me, saw the car, and went completely white, sputtering something about having no idea how any of this got there.
My phone buzzed in my robe pocket at that exact moment.
A text from a number I didn't recognize, no name attached, just a video file and three words: "You should see this."
My hands were already shaking as I glanced between the car and my phone screen, not sure which one to deal with first.
I pressed play on the video.
