A week later, on a Sunday, Nanette couldn't bear Valdi's behavior any longer. Valdi continued to be glued to his phone, whether it was during dinner or when they were about to sleep. What made Nanette even more suspicious was that Valdi had set a password on his phone, something he had never done before. In the past, Nanette could answer Valdi's phone when he was in the shower. But now, she couldn't do that anymore because Valdi's phone was protected by a password.
Valdi had changed drastically. He seemed indifferent and unfocused when they talked, as if his mind was somewhere else. It couldn't be work-related because Valdi had been the head of the lab for a long time, and he had never undergone such a drastic transformation. Nanette's frustration and suspicion grew with each passing day.
