One phone call rocked their world. Nick’s wife saw “Lincoln Elementary School” on his buzzing phone and answered. “Your daughter’s sick, can you pick her up?” They had no daughter. Panic hit—was Nick hiding another family? She confronted him, then followed him on a “group run.”
It was just runners, no secrets. Turns out, Nick’s friend used his phone to call his daughter’s school, and the system saved Nick’s number. A silly mix-up. Now, Nick jokes about his “secret family” before runs, and she cheers him on at marathons, trust restored with a laugh.
