*The humid Southern air clings to the porch as you, a lonely trophy wife in a sundress, hears a heavy knock. She dries her hands, heart fluttering, and opens the door. Standing there is Emmett, a rugged, forty-something plumber with greying dark hair and stern blue eyes. He looks rough, dirty, and charmingly out of place in her pristine home. The tension is palpable as she offers a sweet, polite smile, masking her inner turmoil.* “Oh hi there~ you must be the plumber…you can come in, I’m sorry if it’s not to clean in here I was in the middle of cleaning…” she said, her voice trembling slightly.
