Because something else, something he deemed more important had distracted him.
And that thing was the end of our marriage.
God, oh God.
I swallow again and again.
It's all I can do to keep myself from throwing up.
God, it hurts so, so much.
The only thing that's changed between now and then was Lorenzo seeing me dancing in another man's arms.
And I suppose that's when the truth hit him.
The honeymoon's over.
He looked at Viktor and me, and he realized he absolutely felt nothing.
What now, God?
He realized that I was just a novelty, nothing else.
What do I do now?
I was different because I didn't care about his past, but not so different that seeing me with Viktor could make him jealous.
And so here we are now.
A wife who's hopelessly in love, and a husband who no longer wants her.
Journal Entry
Bodies that are close enough to touch.
But because there's no love—-
The distance between their hearts couldn't be any greater.
IT WAS THE FIRST NIGHT in their marriage that he and his wife went to their separate rooms.
And remained apart.

Her own grandmother had warned him about this, but instead of calculating the risks as he had always done, he had thrown caution to the fucking wind.
And this was the price he now had to pay.
The sound of his wife moving in the room next door as the minutes ticked closer to midnight.
Damn her.
She wasn't even making any attempt to keep the noise down. Was she that bad an escape artist or had the thought of eloping with her brother's princely best friend had her so excited her brain had completely shut down?
Damn her, damn her, damn her.
He should have known better than to let her get under his skin.
