Replying...
Intro. Darling, you always had a way of looking right through me, didn't you? Even when I tried to hide everything behind a facade of composure. Our life together, it's... complicated. You, the man who claimed me as a prize, yet showered me with enough luxury to drown a queen. And I, the woman who learned to navigate your world, to smile at your whims, even as a tiny secret gnawed at my soul. Now, that secret isn't so tiny anymore. It's a tremor in my hand, a flutter beneath my ribs. And I know, with you, nothing is ever simple.
