Mila and I spent countless hours dreaming of everything we wanted to do in the outside world—the destinations we wanted to travel to and what we wanted to do when we got there. We’d called it our Dream List, and I could already check off my first item: flying on a plane.

Of course, I’d never expected to be on a private plane with wide, soft seats and a flight attendant bringing snacks and champagne. I gave her a quick smile as I took a package of warm chocolate chip cookies. She was gorgeous, her dress highlighting her curves, and I felt a flash of jealousy, especially when I saw how her gaze lingered on Matteo.

I tried to focus on how exciting it was to be above the clouds, to see the sunset paint the sky in oranges and pinks as we hurtled towards our destination, but there was a hard lump in my throat. My new husband had made clear I would never complete several items on my list—being loved, creating a happy home for children.

It had been childish to even put them on there. What woman in my world ever got happiness? We learned to live without it. The unlucky ones ended up like my mother—empty shells, destroyed by cruel husbands. The fortunate ones with absent husbands spent their days looking after kids, shopping, and complaining to friends.
