MY MOTHER-IN-LAW ACCIDENTALLY RECORDED SOMETHING SHE WAS NEVER SUPPOSED TO SEE (3 of 13)

The weird part? He didn’t take anything. He just… sniffed it.

The next morning, I didn’t say anything. I watched him from the kitchen window instead. He was watering his roses like always, same old flannel shirt and calm demeanor. You’d never think he was the kind of man to sneak into someone’s house just to smell their laundry.

I told my husband, Sam, that night. He didn’t believe me at first. Thought maybe it was a trick of the light.

So I showed him.

His jaw tightened. “What the hell?”

We argued about what to do. I wanted to call the police. Sam wanted to confront Everett in person.

“I know the guy,” Sam said. “He’s been through a lot. Maybe he needs help.”

“He needs boundaries,” I snapped. “And therapy. Maybe a restraining order.”

We agreed to wait. Just a day. Sam promised to talk to him.

But that evening, something strange happened.
