After Taking In My Heartbroken Coworker, She Changed the Password

After breaking up with her boyfriend, my coworker cried and begged to stay at my place for a couple of days.

I softened and agreed.

Two days later, she still hadn't left.

A week later, she brought her boyfriend over too.

Half a month later, I came home from work and discovered the door lock code had been changed.

When I called to ask her about it, she said:

“I was worried it wasn't safe, so I changed it. I'll send you the new code.”

I stood outside my own home, phone in hand, staring at the six-digit code she'd sent me.

That's when I realized:

My home... didn't seem to be mine anymore.
