"He didn't touch me on our wedding night-not even a glance that felt like a beginning.
I told myself I wouldn't fall. That I wouldn't love a man who kept the door to his heart bolted shut.
But I did.
In the way he said my name when he was tired. In the way he protected me without admitting it.
I fell for a man who didn't want a wife.
And every day, I wondered if being his wasn't enough to be his."

"I married her, not for love-but for peace.
I told myself she was just a name on paper, not someone who'd turn my world upside down.
I was cold, distant. Maybe even cruel.
But she stayed. She smiled when I didn't deserve it. She made a stranger's house feel like something I wanted to come home to.
And without warning-I fell.
Now I can't look at her without wondering how I ever thought I could live untouched by her love."
