This is a story about an open-relationship between an unwilling prostitute and a married man. 


He was in an open marriage, but she's not the wife. To be one of the many partners of a man committed to another woman was her role.

"If only I hadn't met you, I wouldn't be hurting this badly."

Heaving a long sigh that carried his grief, Felix gulped once more before responding to his mother.

"No, no, mom. Can you give me a second?"

{ "Of course, no problem. Go ahead, I'll wait until you're ready." }

Thereafter, silence was back in Felix's room.
