Terms and Conditions SEVENTY THREE
MAYWith everything that was in me, I would have wanted nothing more than to hit that button. I was angry, and rightfully so. But no sooner had I looked at the options Snuggle had given me did I come to gain true clarity.How could I be angry? Edmond did not have this choice. It was why he was keeping secrets from me and the app and unsuccessfully at that.How could I be angry when this union was not meant to be in the first place? All we both wanted then was our lives which Snuggle had stolen. Whatever came after that was orchestrated by the app. It pained me to admit that I had fallen in love with Edmond knowing it was all just some big corporation’s game. But it had been true. I tumbled. I probably was still stumbling too.I contemplated waking Edmond to ask if what he had told me then was true. He had told me he was tumbling too. He told me he cared about me. He had even told me he loved me back when I said it to him. But looking back, that had been the euphoria from sex.Had any

MAYHe was lying, and I did not have the guts to confront him. I knew… I knew it would be smart to communicate. But if I was right, it would hurt. It would hurt too much. Plus, It was common sense. Edmond would not lie to me if there was no big secret.Whatever I had suspected that night at the opening had been dead on. There was something going on between Edmond and Lucille. Why else would he lie?When the movie ended, I felt the knot in my stomach tighten. I had not even been watching the movie, but it had been a good distraction. Now that it had ended, Edmond and I would have to spend time together. Eventually, I would blurt out something about the photo.“What do you want to eat tonight?” Edmond broke the silence.I looked at him and swallowed. Maybe it was better if I said it. We prided our relationship on honesty. At least, I did. Edmond had been doing so well in the honesty aspect too. But was I really surprised that he was lying? He had done it before to save his skin. I was c

EDMONDReturning home to May after really helping Lucille dissect our former relationship and her relationship with Tyrone made me feel better about lying.I told myself that there was really nothing much to it. I lied for a valid reason. I had done it before, and May had understood. I figured I would just give it a few days before I mentioned it. She would forgive me. I would get over whatever guilt continued to disturb me.Upon entering the house, I noticed May sitting on the couch, seemingly engrossed in a movie.Hanging my suit on the rack, I proceeded to settle on the couch. “Hey,” I whispered, leaning in for a kiss. May made no attempt to meet my lips, but she did let me kiss her on the cheek.“Hi,” She whispered back, glancing at me.I watched as her eyes traveled from my face to my tie. Something seemed to shift in her eyes.May’s face turned back to the television, and she asked in a cool tone, “How was work?”By cool, I meant cold. Ice cold. Her question felt sarcastic for s

MAYAfter Edmond left for work, I proceeded to the kitchen to clean up. Edmond was not a messy cook, but there were some dishes left for me to clean up. I appreciated that he kept to his word. I was starting to feel like I wasn’t doing much.Plus, I needed the distraction. Snuggle’s lack of tasks and the new creepy notes I was getting from them were beginning to bug me out. It was worse than a task, and it preyed on my own insecurities. I believed the worst part about it was that I was aware of what they were doing. But even that awareness did little to nothing to stop the damage that the notifications were doing.So if I could focus on dirty plates, I wouldn’t be so stuck in my head. Hopefully, Edmond would make it back early. His presence was refreshing to have around. I would forget it all.I picked up my phone and hit open the Spotify app. Music would soothe my nerves and help me see doing dishes as something fun.A comforting rhythm from my favorite playlist hummed as I got to wo

EDMONDI walked towards my car while quietly murmuring to myself that nothing was wrong with this. It was just one stupid secret, and after all of this was over, I would tell her. Not just now.With the click of the remote, the mechanical gates swung open, revealing the outside world. I took a deep breath in, inhaling the thick scent of my cologne. I would make it quick. May would not even notice I was gone.The engine roared to life as I settled into the driver’s seat. The leather was cold against my pants, a welcome contrast to the warm summer day outside. I adjusted my mirrors and fastened my seatbelt.Pulling out of the driveway, the gates closed behind me with a mechanical whir. The smooth asphalt stretched out before me, and I accelerated.The drive to Mox was familiar. Tall trees lined the road, their leaves rustling in the breeze, and soon enough, they vanished, replaced by towering buildings and people. The drive was peaceful, and it gave me the time that I needed to clear my
Terms and Conditions SPECIAL CHAPTER

Maybe it was the fact that was becoming painfully obvious that her daughter might actually despise her or the fact that she could not comprehend why that would be the case. She had done everything for May after her husband had abandoned her.April did not let herself fall apart as society would expect. Rising like a burned-down phoenix would be the appropriate term to use. April used her pain as a learning experience. She came out stronger and ensured her daughter wouldn’t feel his absence.April worked hard. Harder than most men she knew to ensure that May was comfortable. She swore not to raise a degenerate. May would be nothing like the man who had a hand in making her.As she poured herself a cup of black hot coffee, April looked back over the years.
