Age Gap

By the time I return home from a business trip, it is past midnight. However, my wife, Celeste Beaumont, isn't home. A man's shirt that isn't mine is lying on the couch. When I call her, she tells me that she's working late at the office. "Whose shirt is it on the couch?" I ask, cutting straight to the point. She playfully scolds, "Who else would it be? It's a gift for you, so hurry up and try it on." I skeptically put it on and immediately feel how tight and uncomfortable it is across my shoulders. "This is an L, babe. I've always worn XL." Celeste runs a clothing company. She's the one who handles all my clothes and even uses my body measurements for her menswear line. There's no way she doesn't know my size. The line goes quiet for half a second before she thoughtfully says, "It's from my new menswear collection. "I had pieces custom-made for you and Felix, so I must've grabbed the wrong piece. I'll swap it tomorrow." A beat later, her voice carries a little sob as she continues, "Babe, I've been so exhausted without you these past few days. I've missed you so much…" It's past midnight. As I listen to the undeniable weariness beneath her affectionate, playful words, my heart aches in distress. I can't help chiding myself for overthinking. However, after hanging up, realization hits me. Her brother, Felix Beaumont, and I are about the same build. He's always worn XL.

Quand Livio Colin, mon époux et PDG, a appris que j'avais cédé de mon propre chef le contrat de plusieurs millions à Zoé Delafose, il a proposé, pour me « dédommager », un voyage en Islande. Il croyait que trois mois de silence radio avaient enfin porté leurs fruits. Zoé Delafose était sa précieuse assistante. Elle a mal pris la nouvelle. Une crise de jalousie, une menace de démission, et le voilà aux petits soins. Et le résultat ? Il m'a posé un lapin, prétextant un « déplacement professionnel » pour s'envoler avec elle vers les glaces islandaises. Sa justification, lancée avec désinvolture : « Les sentiments, c'est secondaire. Le travail prime, je suis patron, je dois montrer l'exemple. En tant que ma femme, tu comprends, n'est-ce pas ? » Je suis restée silencieuse, le regard fixé sur l'écran. Zoé venait de poster une photo : leurs deux têtes rapprochées, leurs mains formant un cœur. Il a pris ça pour de la grandeur d'âme, promettant, le sourire aux lèvres, de m'offrir une lune de miel encore plus romantique à son retour. Ce qu'il ignorait, c'était que ma lettre de démission avait déjà été signée. Tout comme les papiers du divorce. Entre lui et moi, la ligne avait été tracée. Il n'y aurait pas de retour en arrière.
