AINSLEY
My husband was a monster.
It was something I’d come to accept over the years.
It could also be argued, I supposed, that I was equally monstrous. Some
of the things I’ve done to keep our family together were questionable,
morally gray, I would say. But it was all a matter of opinion.
What mattered was that it worked.
I fixed us.
At least, I would.
We were a work in progress. Aren’t we all?
I glanced over to the passenger seat where Peter sat, fidgeting with the
collar of his shirt.
I swatted his hand. “Leave it alone.”
His brow rose just a hair, but he didn’t bother arguing. Lately, he didn’t
argue with anything I said. He’d become my lapdog, dutifully doing
whatever I needed or whatever I said.
I thought it was what I wanted.
A quiet coexistence.
But, truth be told, I missed the spark I used to see in his eyes. I missed
who we used to be… Before.
Before our world changed.
Before he found out I knew his secrets.
My latest mission was to bring that version of my husband back.
Whatever it took.
“Are you sure about this?” he asked, twisting his wedding band around
his finger.
“Of course I am. Why?” I pulled the car into the paved parking lot of
our new therapist’s office.
He shook his head, staring at the glass door with her name on it.
Joanna St. James, LMFT
“I’m just not sure we’re marriage counseling people. She’s going to see
right through us.”
I shut the car off, resting my hands in my lap. “Don’t be ridiculous.
What exactly are marriage counseling people, Peter?”
He practically flinched as I said his name, though I’d thought I was
speaking gently. “Just forget it. Let’s go in.”
I reached for his hand as he started to open the door, and he stopped,
glancing over at me. “I want to do this because I want to fix us. You know
that. I want to rebuild our trust.”
His stony expression softened. “I want that, too. You know I do. It’s
just…” He sighed, looking back at the office door through the windshield.
“I don’t know what we’ll even talk about. Our problems aren’t exactly
normal.”
He winced as he said it, and I let his words wash over me. We sat in
silence for a moment, and when he finally looked up at me, a laugh slipped
through my lips.
Then more laughter.
Soon, he’d joined me. I felt the stress leaving my shoulders as we
laughed together at the ridiculousness of our situation and the truth of his
words.
“That just might be the understatement of the century,” I said, when I’d
finally caught my breath. He was smiling at me, and I slid my hand down
his arm and into his palm, squeezing it gently. “Look, I know this will be…
complicated. But we’ll handle it. We always do.” He still didn’t look
convinced. Didn’t want to admit to his issues and how they were affecting
