It's a little ache but I react to it a lot for a moment. It's terrible, like a thunderbolt! Once again, I glance up at the shelf. It's filled with books which are related to psychology, human development and universe theories etc. I huff.

I held it up and said, “Self-help.” James paused. Then blinked. Then burst out laughing again. This time he slapped the shelf like it was a drum, and I nearly slammed the book into his face. “You need help, alright,” he managed between snorts. “But I don’t think a fucking book is gonna do it, my guy.”

I knew nothing about books—but I also knew at first glance that a self help book published in 1825 was not going to interest me. I checked the others and realized the latest one was published in 1850. Was my husband reincarnated from the nineteenth century? Well, that was the only choice I had. Either that or try to listen in on his conference call. Knowing it wasn’t going to be of much help, I opened the first book.

Melanie’s car was parked a few spaces down from mine, but she wasn’t waiting for me outside. I walked in and found her near the back, looking at books in the nonfiction section. “Looking for something to read?” I asked, shoving my hands in my pockets as I stood beside her.
