It turns out I’m really her Hades after all.
I’m not just obsessed with her.
I’m in love her.

All the words on my computer screen blur together in one mass of floating letters, looking like I’ve been pulled into the Matrix.
This is what normally happens to me when I’m tired. Except I’m not tired at all.
I just can’t focus today.
I’m at Sunset Cove working on my application forPeople Magazine.
I needed something to distract myself, but given my fluctuating state of mind, working on something so important might not be the best idea.
It’s been four days since I last saw Knight.
As he kissed me goodbye before I boarded the jet to head back to New York, I wished it wouldn’t be the last time we were like that. But in my heart, I knew itcouldbe.
Although I was aware I wouldn’t see him for a few days because of his business trip, I can’t help but feel that we’ve slipped back into the shoes of the people we were before the wedding.
I especially feel that way today because I know he’s back in New York.
He got back yesterday morning. Apart from one text asking me how I was and another telling me he’d be at a hockey game tonight, we haven’t spoken.
I don't know if that’s because he's genuinely busy or if he's gone back to avoiding me.
That makes me sound like one of those needy, clingy girlfriends who freak out about everything. But I’m not his girlfriend. I’m his wife.
His…business-arranged wife who’s crossed the line and thinks her relationship with her husband is real.
A buzzing sound grabs my attention. I grab my phone, thinking it’s a text from Knight coming through, but it’s not. It’s actually an email from the car wax suppliers offering me a year’s supply for a discount.
I delete it and will myself to push Knight out of my mind.

“There she is.” Madison bounces into my office as if springs are attached to her stilettos.
The sudden sight of her is just what I need. “Yay, you’re here.”
“I am.”
I rush over to hug her, feeling like we haven't seen each other in years, although it's only been a little over a week since the wedding.
When I got back from Saint-Tropez, she happened to be away in Paris for an impromptu trip with Chad. Our friends and I suspect the trip was a surprise engagement.
"So, what happened in Paris?" I ask when we pull apart.
Madison stretches out her left hand and shows off the beautiful diamond engagement ring on her finger.
At the sight, the two of us scream at the top of our lungs and hug again.
I'm not surprised to see a ring on her finger, but the euphoria is the same as if I didn’t know.
