Ever wonder why he's too tired to make love? Do you get hang up calls late in the evening? Is he too busy or preoccupied to play with the grandkids? Help with homework or listen to their problems?

Sisters, listen up. I'm a private investigator and have been for over 25 years and lying isn't part of the game. The art of making a story work for you is. Does that seem strange? Well, reckon with this: everything is not always as it seems. Right? Have you experienced this?
