Work at the library is a nightmare today.

First, the data management system crashed before I even had my first cup of coffee, and it took the IT guy three hours to fix the mess.

Next, a drunk student—likely a leftover from some stupid fraternity party—bumped into a bookshelf and knocked it over. It took me forever to get the books in order again.

Then, two girls caused a scene because Jacob decided it was a great idea to fuck Emily and her best friend, Abigail, on the same night. I told them twice to calm down and let the others work in peace, but I had to throw them out after Emily bitch-slapped Abigail right in front of my desk.

Barely an hour later, I caught a guy eating a mayonnaise-dripping sandwich over an encyclopedia from the 1600s, and it was all I could do not to explode right on the spot and play nice.

I thought I had a few minutes today to study for my upcoming psychopharmacology exam, but the software crash made some data entries disappear, and I still need to fix this before my shift is over.

Not that I can concentrate on my studies today. I’m too distracted. Too absorbed. My mind churns with the amazing night I shared with Jesse after the wedding, and the million other things that happened ever since his return.

I haven’t seen him for the last three days, and I’m battling a constant onslaught of mixed feelings. Intense feelings that excite me, scare me, and make me hot at the same time.

He texted me every day, and that’s totally new to me. Sweet good-mornings making me smile. Funny jokes cheering me up. Dirty promises making me hot. I love it. I want more of it. It’s perfect.

So perfect that I can’t shake off the notion that Jesse is hiding something.

I mean, there are so many firsts, and we have been together for five years! Like, he inserts goofy smileys in his WhatsApp messages. He gives me mind-blowing orgasms. He wants me on top when we have sex. I came three times in a row without additional handiwork. He takes me for a night-walk at the beach. He kisses me as if he wants to brand my soul.

And then the slight differences I noticed…

There are lines of worry rimming his eyes I’ve never seen before. His quirk changed from rubbing his chin to scratching his head. When he looks at me, he’s got this devilish twinkle as if he’s up to something bad. He left with a suitcase and returned with a bag. He changed half of his wardrobe. And his arms suddenly look as if he did nothing but swing an ax over the last four weeks.

Something happened in Venezuela, but what? What caused his voice to sound deeper all of a sudden? Why is he so attentive and hanging onto every word I say? Why did he laugh when I told him about my bad grade?

What made him the man I never knew I
