Thirty-Three
Kaiden
With so much of my past colliding with my present, so many memories demanding a reprise, and the echoes of two lives reforming, I suppose it’s only natural that Aspen wants answers to how I’ve spent the last ten years.
But talking about Kitty has shaken us both, and I wonder if my oath to keep nothing but honesty between us might have backfired.
I can feel the suspicion and jealousy emanating from my wife in waves that threaten to drown us both, but I don’t know how else to reassure Aspen about the other woman.
My relationship with Kitty is as simple as it is complex, but it’s also one borne of a mutual understanding of pain and loneliness, rather than love and commitment.
And the truth is, Kitty has been there for me when nobody else ever has been.
But I don’t think Aspen will appreciate knowing that, even though there is absolutely no reason for her jealousy.
