Married My Ex's Uncle In My Second Time
His voice had taken on that smug, self-assured tone he always used when he spoke about his family.
My mind keeps drifting back to the alley, to the man with the gun and those intense grey eyes. The world around me felt static, a dull hum compared to the vivid, dangerous memory of that encounter.
With feigned curiosity, I cut him short and ask, “And how about your uncle? You’ve mentioned him a few times, but I don’t know much about him.”
Josh’s response is terse. “He’s fine.”
He gives me a suspicious glance, clearly wondering why I’d brought up his uncle out of the blue. I play it cool.
