The Unseen Husband
THE UNSEEN HUSBAND
Sebastian found the journal by accident.
It was three days after the confrontation with Helena, and he'd been looking for a book to read to the children before bed. Alessia had mentioned keeping some books in the chest by the window, so he'd opened it without thinking.
Inside, beneath a few worn volumes, was a leather-bound journal.
He almost closed the chest immediately—it was clearly private, clearly Alessia's—but the page it was open to caught his eye. Not because of nosiness, but because of the handwriting. The same careful script from the letters Helena had intercepted, but this time formed into poetry.
