Thursday night he learned every freckle on my body.
Friday morning he introduced me to the men who work for him.

“My wife.”
He didn’t look at me once while he said it.

Lorcan Byrne.
Galway knows him as a property developer.
Dublin knows better.

I tell myself I’ll be gone by spring.
Lorcan disagrees.
“Say stop and I’ll stop.”

I never say stop.

Then I find out what he did to get me.

Eleven months later he says it again.
Same room. Same men.
“My wife.”

This time I’m the one in the chair.
And he doesn’t take his eyes off me once.
