I Went to Surprise My Husband at Work—His Colleague Looked at Me With Tears and Asked, “He Hasn’t Told You Anything, Has He?”
“Could you have said there was a confidential compliance matter you could not discuss?”
“Yes.”
“Could you have told her your schedule honestly without revealing protected information?”
“Yes.”
Then:
“So what exactly required the deception?”
Nothing.
Fear.
