Her husband had been moody and detached

Ever since telling her about his favorite author

She was tempted to tell him everything

Living a secret life is hard lonely work

She had amassed a secret fortune

Far greater than he could ever earn

The next day he travelled to a three day conference

Opening the opportunity for her to meet Jack for dinner

Her agent sent a driver pick her up 

Jack had chosen an expensive restaurant

The wine flowed and she was enthralled by him

His foundation of secret entrepreneurs was rich material for her new book

Jack held her hand and told her of his plans

He wanted her to meet his contacts in places like Rome, Paris and London

She would get to interview each of them in private

Jack and her would have lots of quality time together

Visiting all those romantic places was on her bucket list but she was trapped

She was both excited and reticent at the same time

Jack was a real gentleman and he could tell she was in quandary

Please think it over and email me your decision he said

She went home to an empty house but not sleep well that night

Her writing was fulfilling but she needed more in her life

Jack had appeared at exactly the right moment 

Her heart was pounding as she hit send on her email to Jack

Her husband came back from the conference

She finished her second glass of wine

Staring at the man she married many years ago

It was time for her to confess 

I have aways loved you and have something very important to tell you she said 

He quickly replied that he had figured out long ago she was his favorite author

I hired an actor to play the roll of Jack he said, I am so glad you turned him down

She smiled, kissed him passionately and whispered start packing for our world cruise
