I laugh and snuggle again.

We sit in silence for a moment, and then I challenge her."So let's hear your Fucking Fantasy analysis of my family.Parents excluded, of course."
"Of course," she giggles, "Parental sex is off-limits."
I chuckle, "Start with Antonio and Gio."
"Ok."She looks at them and, I assume, is studying their body language.Then she leans up and rests her hands on the table, thinking.When she starts speaking, she's in her 'guru zone.'She is focused and serious.
"Antonio is cold and distant to Gio.It goes beyond the surface.He is truly withdrawn from her.Although he is faithful to her heart, his body isn't any longer for whatever reason.Therefore, he has found solace with Yanni, but if it weren't Yanni, it would be someone else.Gio is cold to him, but it's only because he took a mistress.She still loves him very much, and she is very hurt."
"But they agreed on that."
She gives me a small roll of her eyes and shakes her head in disbelief that I would believe that."What else could she do when he asked?Say no?"
"Yes."
"No, Aurei.If she had said no, she would have lost him for sure.She was smart enough to realize that.She didn't want to lose him.A mistress was a viable option."
I frown at them as she continues explaining what is evident to her."She wishes he would never have asked."
"Oh," the light comes on, and I look at her.
"Yeah," her face is sad.
"Is their marriage hopeless?"I frown as I lean forward to study Siri's face.Interested in this side of her personality, I also rest my arms on the table.
"No.Their marriage is fine."She looks at me as if I didn't hear her analysis correctly.
I'm confused."But you said they aren't happy being married to each other."
"No, I didn't say that.I said they aren't happy with their relationship within their marriage.But they are happy being married to each other."
"Hmm."I look back at them.
"Unless something changes the dynamics of their relationship, they will more than likely continue to live like this for many years."She prophesies."Neither of them wants a divorce."
"Hmm."I look back at her.
"Aurei, you're assuming everyone wants to be not only in love but happy with the one they are married to and vice versa.But when life happens and things change, many people don't find a way to keep being in love or their happiness alive.They let it go, but they don't want to divorce either, so they live in more of a partnership-type arrangement.Which is very sad to me."
"Hmm."I push a piece of hair off her face tenderly.She's such an exciting find.
"What you really want to know is what Fucking Fantasy I would give them to help them?"
"I do."
"This example will be just to demonstrate what I do so you will have a good idea.I read people's sexual issues.Sometimes it's clear cut.Sometimes it's well hidden."She smiles at me."Like mine and yours.We have learned to hide ours really deep."
"Mmhmm," I smirk, "I like to hide my issue really deep in you."
