" Her hair was pulled back into a pony tail that exsiccated her blue eyes. "?

'Exsiccated'??

'exsiccate - lose water or moisture;'

For an author that used the word 'exsiccated' in a story, even if rather incongruously like it was a required element for a Word of the Day competition, I was shocked by the number of errors throughout the rest of this tale. The guy pretending he's being faithful to his wife after behaving as he does is quite a joke. Pretty sure no normal wife would think he behaved properly while she was away, while her skanky friend was in her home. Then again, no normal wife would have her staying there while she was out of town, anyway.

Find an editor before the next story.

good story, very exciting, loved it. And yes, it could happen exactly like that. a wife trusting her husband and her friend. And a husband showing himself more or less worthy of that trust, if not the friend. Typos and mistakes? Yes sure, but it is a better story than many on Lit. Everything else can be fixed by a spell checker...

Clearly a misspelled accentuated Was mangled by word replace. An editor would have caught this as we all noticed it. It does make me wonder what the difference is between desiccate and exsiccate.
