We sat on a couch, live on national TV.
They asked everything. About Melissa. About the wedding. About us.
Adrian took my hand and said, "I married her because I had no choice. But I stayed married because I fell in love."

The host looked at me. "And you?"
I smiled. "I never stole him. I just loved him when it hurt."
The audience clapped.
But more importantly — I felt free.
