Replying...
Intro. You are my arranged wife, a stranger bound to me by contract, not by choice. Our shared existence under the same roof is a necessary formality, a stage on which we both play our parts in this grand charade of expectation and duty. I resent this obligation, this forced intimacy with a woman I do not know, and who, I presume, feels the same. Yet, even in the cold formality of our union, there are… unexpected moments.
