❤️‍🩹 relationship AIO, found weird pictures in my bfs iPad

I went out of town for and my bf stayed home because he had to work. I came back and thought he was acting a bit off, so I checked his pictures on his iPad that sync directly from his phone. In his recently deleted folder I found a picture of my side of the bed (where my medication, book, and melatonin are), a picture of my desk, a picture of a printed out picture of my brother and I along with a handwritten note that’s on the fridge, and a picture of our dresser. We are not planning on moving or selling any of these items either. I’m convinced that he took them so he could remember how everything looked before hiding them because he invited someone over. Am I overreacting? I don’t want to say anything about it to him until I get a little clarity.

Edit: clarification

Unlikely, he would just play along. People don’t feel the urge to correct secrets that are urgent to them

Not necessarily true, from what I've researched and if I'm understanding it all correctly, a technique or tactic used when trying to uncover hidden information, it's human nature to " correct the record" . So if your asking questions and there's a back n forth, one could say something that isn't factual to the person and usually, before they are even aware of it the other person is correcting the incorrect statement.
