My Wife in Secret

Erin lay beside Daniel in bed.

She stared at his back, and watched his body move as he breathed.

When he slept, he was so calm.

However when he was awake, he was a mystery. She had seen the soft loving side of him, but he was also very moody.

She didn't expect married life to be easy, but she wished that she could see inside that mind of his.

It was so hard to get him to open up to her, although sometimes she felt like he really needed her.

When she thought about the possibility of him being with another woman, she felt sick.

He's mine, she said to herself.

Erin couldn't imagine being with another man after Daniel. He made her feel like no one else ever had.

It wasn't just the sex. A look from his eyes made her stomach tighten, and she wondered if this is love?

...

The next morning, Daniel was getting dressed. Erin lay in bed a little longer pretending to sleep, and watched him put on his shirt.

"Good morning Erin," he said with his back to her.
