Flynn & Aria Roberts have had plenty of ups and downs
during their seven year marriage. Everyone warned them not to wed so young -
that they'd be missing out on the key years when people grow from young adults
to mature individuals.
The only thing holding them
together now is their
love for each other,
and even that is becoming questionable.
To save the marriage, and the family they've already
started, Flynn and Aria come up with an unconventional solution to help them
find what's missing in their relationship.
The only problem is doing so involves rediscovering
themselves completely, even if it requires them to be unfaithful.
Can a marriage survive
when vows are broken, or will chance encounters prove
they've been missing out all-along?

While still a blubbering mess, I picked up the phone and
dialed Flynn’s number. I needed to hear his voice.
He sounded groggy. “Hello?”
“It’s me.” My voice was low to hide my emotions.
“Are you crying?”
It was easier to lie. “No, I’m fine.”
“Aria, you can’t hide that from me. Tell me what’s wrong.”
“There is something wrong with me, Flynn. I’m confused all
the time. I keep making one bad decision after another. Maybe I deserve to be
alone. Maybe you should have left a long time ago.”
“I stayed because I love you. I might have a shitty way of
showing it, but I’ve love you for as long as I can remember. That’s never going
to change, even if we’re not together.”
I sobbed on my end of the phone. It was so clear that
Flynn was tired of my head games. “I’m so sorry for my part in this.”
“I deserved most of it I suppose. It’s not like I’m
perfect. I made mistakes I wish I could take back; mistakes that hurt you
beyond belief. I’d do anything to erase the things from your memory, though we
both know it’s not possible. I keep thinking about everything, wondering the
exact moment when everything went to shit. I talk to Dr. Ellis about this
yesterday. She said…”
“Wait. What did you say? You talked to Dr. Ellis
yesterday? Was it over the phone?” It was the weekend. She didn’t have office
hours. Were my fears about them being together confirmed?
“No, I saw her. She was at the same place I was staying.
She showed up yesterday and we went out to dinner.”
I couldn’t hear anymore of this. “I thought we were having
a good conversation. I thought it was progress. The truth is you’re never going
to change. This call was a mistake, but at least it’s proven you can never be
trusted.”
“Aria, wait…”
I hung up and turned my phone off so he couldn’t call me
back. Determined to leave the house before he could show up and tell me more
lies, I started getting ready for the big event. Now more than ever I wanted to rid myself of the hole he’d
left in my heart. I was going to go through with my plans, and even guilt
wasn’t going to stop me.
