"What the contract cannot show is what happened after. How the arrangement became genuine partnership. How obligation became love. How two people who

“Being cozy with her in front of me. We’re supposed to be married.” His expression didn’t change. “We are married.” “You know what I mean. The contract doesn’t make us… all the things. But it does say we don’t date other people. We don’t sleep with other people.” He blinked, very slowly. “I know what the contract says.” He said.

“What game are you trying to play this time?! How dumb do you think we-?!” “What is this?" Michael shouted in shook, surprising his wife. “’Both parties must remember this is a temporary contract, only active for as long as Forrest Riverdale and Christen McGuire are married, and prone to be cancelled at any given time for any valid reason’?!” Celia was shocked to hear those words and snatched the contract out of her husband’s hands to read. Having read the words herself, she trembled in disbelief. "This… This must be a scam! A fraud! Those words couldn’t have been there before! You must have edited this!"

Outside, New York kept moving. Inside, they stayed tangled together until noon, learning the difference between ownership and belonging.
