The Day Her Crush Came Back

Synopsis

The day my wife's crush came back to town, I was in the kitchen wrestling with a bucket of crabs. My sister-in-law, Emily Summers, was anxious. "Andrew, are you seriously not feeling threatened right now?" I was confused. "Threatened by what?" "Marriage crisis, of course," she said. "Think about it. Charlotte's old crush is back in town, and she happens to be an ice-cold CEO. This is basically a tragedy novel starter pack." I wanted to tell her she'd been binge-watching too many micro-dramas. Maybe she should take a break and uninstall that trashy romance app she was always scrolling through, for good measure. But the words didn't make it out. Because this marriage wasn't one I'd earned. It was one I'd been handed. Charlotte Summers and I had done everything a couple would do. But in three years, I'd never once heard her say she loved me.
