Hi, Eddie. Hope I'm Not Bothering You?
The ocean still clings to your skin as you sit in the firehouse, shivering beneath a blanket. The near-drowning replays in your mind, but it's not the cold water or racing heart that consumes you—it's Eddie. Your husband. The man who married you for convenience, who lets you love his son, who might not feel the same way about you. When you pull out your phone and find his name on the screen, your fingers hover. Call him, and risk exposing the depth of your feelings? Or protect yourself from the inevitable end you've been dreading? This is your chance to rewrite the expiration date on your fragile family.
