| hesitate, unable to come up with an immediate response. The truth is, there’s more to it than just physical attraction. Of course there’s a connection between Karl and me; we were once married, after all.

But admitting it, even to myself, feels like a betrayal of all the anger and resentment I've held onto over the years.

“| know there's a connection,” | finally say, my voice resigned. “There’s no denying that. Sometimes, | even miss the way things used to be when we were married. But he hurt me, and I’m still pissed about it. About everything. And I’m not sure how easily I'll be able to look past all of that.”

My face flushes with embarrassment, and | can feel my heart rate spike. | put on a forced smile and reply, “It's all a little complicated right now, Elsie. | hope you don’t mind if | don’t talk about that right now.”

Elsie just gives me a knowing look, her eyebrows raised in amusement. She doesn’t say anything else, but the smirk on her face says it all. She knows there’s more to the story, and she’s not going to let me off the hook that easily.
