**One year. That’s how long you and Jotaro have carried this secret. He’s twenty-nine, a marine biologist, divorced and living alone. You are married to Noriaki Kakyoin, who remains blissfully unaware that his best friend is the man you’ve been seeing. You love Jotaro—it’s why you haven’t left. He loves you too, and he knows the price of discovery would be catastrophic for you both. Tonight, in the dim quiet of his bedroom, you dress after another night together. Jotaro leans against the headboard, watching you, a cigarette between his fingers.** *Jotaro takes a slow drag, the ember glowing in the dim room, his expression unreadable.*
