MATT DIDN’T REALLY KNOW what it took to be a good husband. Let alone a good fake husband. His father kind of had it down pat—let his mother do and have anything she wanted, and everything would turn out just fine. Matt figured that he would go with that model and let things unfold.

They’d agreed on Monday night to meet at Matt’s apartment to discuss their current predicament and how they’d go about pretending that this was a real marriage for the next month. Matt had no idea what to expect. He’d never been married to anyone he was only trying to date before. He’d never been trying to seduce a woman he was also divorcing.

And his nervousness was amplified by the fact that his mother was likely losing her mind over the fact that he’d done something this impulsive. He would be lucky if she didn’t have him kidnapped at this point.

When his doorman rang up to let him know that Bridget had arrived, he ran around his apartment to make sure that that there wasn’t any stray mess lying around that Bridget would judge him for. Her office was always pristine, and he assumed that her house was the same.

He didn’t really know why he was doing it. It wasn’t as though he needed to impress her as his soon-to-be ex-wife. Maybe he was just in the habit because of being her employee for three months.

Jesus, he’d never been this nervous. And now he felt as though he was going to pull his hair out over his wife.

His wife.

Even three days later, it felt weird. But oddly, even though they were most definitely still getting a divorce, not bad.

He let the weirdness soak him until he heard a knock at the door. He couldn’t help running to open it up. “Hi.” Hi? She was going to think he was daft. “Come in.”

She did seem as awkward and stilted as he was. After all, she’d married him having never been in his home. There was so much they didn’t know about each other. All he had was the fact that she was brutally competent and funny and had a complicated family.

One thing he absolutely knew about Bridget Nolan was that she wasn’t the kind of woman who would marry him for his family’s money and social status. She would have played being his boss totally different than she had. She would have flirted and simpered— or made his work life easier at the very least.

After spending the weekend with her, he knew that even more. Even when the messy aspects of her life came out at that dinner the first night, she hadn’t tried to hide who she was or how she lived.

Part of why he knew he needed to get the divorce was that he was afraid that she was the kind of woman he could really fall in love with.

She stared at him for a second too long, until he remembered his manners. “Can I get you something to drink?”

“Something very alcoholic.
