The question Chloe asked comes back to me full force.

It’s something I mustn’t have because this isn’t a fairytale. There is no happily ever after in a business relationship like ours. He’s not the prince and I’m far from being a princess.
What I am is desperate and this business relationship we have is helping me out. It’s saving me and my family.
I’m planning to be gone in a few months’ time.
Then this fantasy will be over.
That’s what it is. A fantasy. It’s not good and it’s not bad.
It’s something I can’t quite describe.
