My husband is a good man\u2014loyal, dependable, the kind of partner any woman would be lucky to have. Our life is predictable, safe. I should be grateful. I <em data-start=\"325\" data-end=\"329\">am<\/em> grateful.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"343\" data-end=\"370\">But then there\u2019s my boss.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"372\" data-end=\"685\">The way he looks at me, the way his voice drops when he speaks to me, the way he moves with an effortless confidence\u2014it all sends a thrill through me that I haven\u2019t felt in years. When he\u2019s near, something inside me wakes up, something wild and reckless, something that has been buried beneath years of routine.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"687\" data-end=\"982\">I tell myself it\u2019s nothing. A harmless attraction. A momentary spark. But each interaction with him leaves a mark on me, lingering long after I\u2019ve walked away. My pulse quickens in his presence, my thoughts drift to him at night, and I find myself craving the next moment our paths will cross.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"984\" data-end=\"1223\">I never thought of myself as someone who could be tempted. I never imagined a day when I\u2019d look at my marriage and feel like something was <em data-start=\"1123\" data-end=\"1132\">missing<\/em>. And yet, here I am, standing at the edge of a desire so consuming that it terrifies me.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1225\" data-end=\"1345\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">Do I push it away, bury it, pretend it isn\u2019t real?
