You can forget I was ever here.

In what world was that likely or even close to possible?

I was angry with her and with myself. Of all the places in the world, why had she chosen this one?

I felt like a fool. From the moment I’d seen her at the top of the stairs, I’d lost control of my emotions. At first, I’d thought it was a dream, one like the many I’d had in the past two years. I’d wanted nothing more than to meet her at the top of the stairs and feel her in my arms again. I’d wondered if my dreams had finally come true.

But of course, they hadn’t. If Allie was here, it was for her own selfish reasons. With every word that came out of her mouth, I had to fight the urge to go to her, to pull her down to the floor with me, to silence her with a kiss, to envelope myself in her heat until the past two years were a blur for the both of us.

I watched her walk away, hips swaying gently inside her silk dressing gown, and I’d never felt more infuriated and helpless. I muttered a string of rotten words. I should have stayed at the Jeffersons’, I thought bitterly. There, at least, I didn’t have to deal with the woman who’d shattered my heart.

I went up the stairs, making my way to the bedroom that adjoined mine. I prepared for bed, silently cursing her, cursing the image of her in my bed, cursing the fact that her proximity made it almost impossible for me to function, that my physical need for her had intensified to an undeniable stiffness in my pants.

I’d seen every movie, watched her on TV, read her interviews, tortured myself with the thought of who she allowed into her private life, who she allowed to touch her, to bring her pleasure.

Now, I listened to the silence on the other side of the wall and cursed again. She likely didn’t care that I was working myself up because of her. She would sleep like a baby and go back to her life, leaving me torn up under the mask of equanimity I always had to put on for the world.

I got into bed, the evidence of my arousal heavy on my thigh. Without even coming within a foot of me, she could do this to me. I chuckled bitterly. How could she even come here, to this house where we’d fallen in love and decided to be together, knowing she had ruined our marriage?

She ruined it? The voice in my head mocked me. You ended it.

In the first flush of love, I’d believed we could make it work, living a whole country apart, both of us with successful careers. I had planes at my disposal. I bought a house in LA, for her, for us.

But she was never there. She had prior commitments, plans that had been made long before she met me. She
