The Expiration Date of Suffering

Summary

During a game of Truth or Dare, someone asked my husband, Carter: "If you were given another chance, who would you choose? Harper or Serena?"

Carter downed a glass of whiskey and said, his voice laced with a strange sense of loss, "We were too broke back then. Serena would have only suffered if she stayed with me."

So, he chose me.

But things were different now.

He had money, power, and status.

He had built a gilded cage to protect Serena perfectly. He would even drop to one knee just so she could rest her foot on his thigh.

As for me, he simply didn't understand.
