My wife is asleep on my chest, and in eight months, I’m supposed to divorce her.
There’s something deeply fucked up about that.
This marriage was your idea. My grandfather left me the vineyard on the condition that I marry within a year, and when I told you I might lose the place, you offered yourself as the solution.
One year married. Save the vineyard. Divorce. Easy.
Except I’ve been in love with you for years.
And right now, you’re curled against me on the couch, wearing my sweatshirt, your wedding ring resting over my heart like you belong here.
I haven’t moved in forty minutes.
My arm is numb.
I’d rather lose it than wake you.
Eventually, you stir. “Why are you staring at me?”
“Because you’re drooling on me.”
Your head shoots up. “I am not.”
I laugh when you wipe your mouth anyway.
“You’re an ass.”
“And yet you married me.”
“For your vineyard.”
There it is.
The reminder you don’t even realize hurts.
I tuck a strand of hair behind your ear and smile like you haven’t just cracked something open inside me.
“Right. The vineyard.”
You settle against me again, completely unaware that I’d burn the damn thing to the ground if keeping it meant losing you.
Eight months from now, you’ll ask me for a divorce.
And somehow, I’m supposed to look at the woman I’ve loved for years and pretend I know how to let her go.
