Cheryl

It was finally time to go home.

Reuben and I talked yesterday. We didn’t exactly end things, but we didn’t make anything official either. We both knew the distance would be brutal, and we didn’t want to waste each other’s time. He assured me that things would be fine.

I wanted to believe him.

Until he found out the truth—that Mr. Han wasn’t my foster dad. He was my husband.

I still can’t forget the look on his face. The way his eyes had widened in shock, his mouth opening and closing like he was trying to find the right words but couldn’t.

It was a mess.

I don’t blame him. I should’ve told him sooner. But it’s too late now.

All I can do is leave Boston behind. Return to Mr. Han like the past three months didn’t happen. Like I didn’t spend my days laughing with someone else, feeling things I shouldn’t have felt. Like I didn’t let myself get swept away by someone who wasn’t him.

It was good while it lasted. I learned a lot.

But in the end, I still wanted my Mr. Han.

I still want

    MilesBurial.It all feels so quick.So sudden, and it still feels unbelievably strange.I had really hoped my dad and I would get enough time to work out our differences, to become friends again. But here we are—life throwing at us one of its greatest weaknesses: uncertainty.It feels surreal, like a bad dream I’m waiting to wake up from, like some cruel lie I’m waiting for someone to tell me isn’t true. And yet, our last conversation had been about me having children. Again and again, over and over, the same fight, the same argument.I suppose I should be happy—I’m finally free. No one is forcing me to get married anymore or bugging me with the talk of having children soon. But somehow I feel bad, I feel worse that he never got the only thing he wanted from me. Kids.I was too disassociated to interact with anyone. Truthfully, I was also avoiding my mom. I just don’t think I’m ready to talk about what happened with her.So after the burial, I went upstairs to our room in the family

    Cheryl My heart was pounding hard and fast.It was all so sudden.Anthony’s accident—and being pronounced dead—all in the space of barely four hours. I needed to get to Miles fast. Who knows what he must be feeling right now?I know they’ve had plenty of fights over the years, maybe almost half his life, but Anthony means so much to Miles, and Miles to him.Not to mention that they saw each other last night and talked about whatever they talked about. It’s overwhelming and painfully sad. The news spread so quickly, so many calls coming in, especially from Miles’ family and friends. They kept saying he wasn’t taking their calls or letting anyone see him at the office.Oh God.My poor boy.He must be so broken.I don’t have parents who ever truly wanted me or any kind of healthy relationship with them, so I can never fully understand or relate to what Miles is feeling or what is going through his mind right now.Anthony was my father‑in‑law, and I liked him.He was always kind to me, f

    Miles We were at some boring event that had been dragging on far too long. I was standing with my friends, trying to nod along to their useless conversations, while Cheryl was somewhere else with the girls—probably gossiping or laughing about something I couldn’t hear. She wasn’t within my line of sight, and that alone made me restless.I kept glancing toward the crowd, trying to spot her, worried they might bring up something—anything—that could be triggering for her. I wanted to walk over and hover, to make sure she was okay, but I knew better. Hovering would annoy her. I didn’t want her mad at me again the way she had been when she found out about Anna’s miscarriage.I groaned inwardly and tipped back my glass. This was miserable. I was chugging down whiskey while listening to these idiots talk about nothing, when all I wanted was to be home, fucking my wife senseless, wrapping her in my arms while we slept, breathing her sweet, warm scent through the night and waking up a happy m

    Cheryl I pretended I didn’t get up the second he told me he was an hour away. I had freshened up, put on lotion, stayed ready—then I passed out waiting for him. I didn’t even realize when he got home or when he slipped into the room.I was mad. I still was. He knew about Anna and didn’t tell me. Did they all think I’d break down? That I’d fall apart? That I’d be jealous of my best friend?Never.I buried my face deeper into the pillows, moans escaping my lips as his mouth latched onto my nipple. Heat shot through my body, rushing to my core like a fire I couldn’t put out. My clit throbbed, aching in the most delicious, urgent way. My body felt full, like I could burst.“Ohh yes,” I moaned, my thighs trembling, my toes curling, my core tightening from the heat spreading across my skin. The pressure in my lower belly was too much.I arched my back and rolled my head back—froze.“Did you just come?” Miles asked, raising his head to look at me.I nodded, biting my lip with a small, breat

    Miles“I’m suffering from a syndrome,” I groaned, slouching into my chair, already reaching for the bottle of whiskey on my desk.Isaac narrowed his eyes. “What syndrome is that?”“Staying-away-from-my-wife syndrome,” I muttered, pouring the liquor into a glass. It was too early in the day for whiskey, but the ache in my chest didn’t care. I missed my wife. Like hell.“I hate staying away from my wife too,” Isaac added sympathetically. “I’m never going on business trips ever again.”I rolled my eyes. No offense, but it wasn’t the same. No one missed their wife the way I missed mine. And honestly, no one had a wife like mine.Then he asked, “What would you have done if she chose to get a divorce? Married someone else? Had kids with him?”I froze. I hadn’t really let myself go there. I was too sure Cheryl wouldn’t leave. But then… lately? I wasn’t so sure. She loves me, yes. I believe that. Maybe even as much as I love her—but is love always enough?“I don’t know. Die?” I shrugged, down

    CherylThat night, I got home late on purpose. No husband. No pressure to pretend I wasn’t overthinking everything.My phone buzzed from across the room. I looked over at the table and dug it out of my bag.Miles.A FaceTime call.Who the hell taught my old man how to use FaceTime?I laughed to myself and picked up the call.“Hi, baby,” I said, waving at the screen.It was just an empty chair in front of a desk at first. His phone must’ve been propped up.“What were you smiling about?” his voice finally filled the silence. Then he appeared, sliding into his chair.“You,” I teased. “I was just wondering who taught my old man how to use video calls.”He pouted dramatically. “What do you mean, baby? I’m not even that old.”I laughed, full and loud.“I miss you,” he said.“I miss you too,” I replied. “I’ve been so busy today just to keep my mind off you. But it didn’t work. I still miss you.”“I should’ve brought you with me.”He took a sip from a cup.“What’s that?” I asked, setting the
