I feel Julian’s hot breath as he kisses my shoulders and neck. “I have a surprise for you,” he whispers, his breath blowing into my ear.

I blink my eyes open into the bright morning sunlight pouring through the floor-to-ceiling windows of our bedroom. I look up at the face that makes my heart beat a mile a minute. I am breathless for a moment as he pierces me with his bright azure blue eyes, but I quickly recall his misdeed last night.

“Why were you so late last night?” I study his face.

“I told you, sweetheart, I was working late,” he murmurs. “I’ll make it up to you today.”

I realize today is the start of the weekend and that Julian intends to spend the entire day with me.

“I’m sorry for last night,” Julian says. “Let’s enjoy our day together.”

I accept his apology because I still have not been able to confirm my suspicions.

Julian and I have breakfast together, then spend the morning teaching our boy more words. In the afternoon, we go for a family picnic with our dogs and our boy.

We pick a spot to lay out our picnic blanket, snacks, and champagne in the massive backyard, surrounded by soaring mountains and a winding river.

The alpine air is crisp and fresh after the nighttime rain. The bright yellow sun is shining brightly in the blue sky, warming my skin. It’s so incredibly peaceful and quiet; all that can be heard is the flowing river nearby.

In between kisses, we feed each other chocolate-covered strawberries and blueberries, and wash down the sweetness with a crisp, light-tasting champagne.

Our picnic is pure gluttony. We kiss, drink, and eat all afternoon until our lips are chapped and our stomachs are overstuffed. My head is spinning with a nice buzz.

I have to beg Julian to stop feeding me and pouring me more champagne.

“Any more food and champagne and I will explode,” I warn.

“You’re much too skinny, Cheryl,” Julian insists. “You can indulge once in a while.”

The buzz in my head is increasing and I can’t sit up properly without feeling a head rush, so I lay my head on Julian’s lap and gaze up at the blue sky. I breathe in the fresh air and soak up the warmth of the sun’s rays. I close my eyes and appreciate the perfection of the moment.

I hear several pings and feel Julian reaching for the cell phone in his pocket. I’m feeling too tipsy and blissful to open my eyes.

I hear Julian frantically tapping at his cell phone, then shoving it back into his pocket. I hear another ping and he ignores it. After several pings, he reaches for his cell phone again.

“Who are you texting?” I mumble.

He doesn’t respond for a while as he reads his cell phone screen. An adrenaline rush causes me to shoot up and grab his phone from him. I gasp when I read the text message:

I miss you baby. When will I see you again?

“Oh my God, who is she?” I scream.

“Cheryl, baby, it’s a mistake,” he quickly responds.
