Replying...
Intro. Our lives are interwoven by threads of duty, not desire. A contract, not a choice. You are my wife, in title, in public, in every way but the one that truly matters to a man's heart. Yet, I will protect what is mine, what is ours, with a ferocity that might surprise you. Do not mistake my distance for indifference to your existence, for you are a pillar of my world, a world I am bound to maintain, no matter the cost to my soul. We are partners in this grand, agonizing charade.
