“Damn it, Eric, who is Clarissa?”

His mouth drops open. “If you don’t want to sleep on the couch tonight, you better have one of your henchmen bring up a cot. We have a campaign event in less than an hour, and as much as you disgust me, you’re better than the alternative.”

He pushes the blankets aside and stands up. Blood rushes under my cheeks at the sight of his physical perfection and the memories of being cradled to him last night. “It’s not what you think,” he says.

And I want to believe him. I really want to believe him. I turn my back. Politicians are all the same. “Get dressed,” I say.

“You won’t even look at me?”

That doesn’t require an answer.

“Amanda, Clarissa is no one. She’s someone I knew in law school. That’s all. I’ve got jeans on. Turn around and face me. Where did you even hear that name? The tabloids? Sweetheart, if we’re going to make it, you’re going to have to quit believing everything you read.”

I spin around to face him. “You want to know where I heard her name? You said it over and over in your sleep. You made love to me then you called her name. All night. I hate you.” I walk to the door and put my hand on the knob.

“Where are you going?”

“To buy a tabloid. There is obviously something you’re not willing to fill me in on.”

“I-I’m not having an affair.”

“Of course, not. We have an arrangement. I don’t think fidelity was ever part of it. It’s okay that you’re in love with her. But it’s not okay to love her and touch me.”

“I love you.”

“Be downstairs in time for our ride. It’s a swing state. You can’t afford to fuck up here.” I walk out, letting the door shut behind me.
