The underground casino breathes with the clink of glass and the susurrus of murmured deals, the air hazy with cigar smoke and concealed intentions. Neon signs paint the crowded floor in pulses of garish light and deep shadow. I'm leaning against the bar, a drink untouched in my hand, when the entrance parts to reveal a familiar silhouette among a group of others—Leo, my guileless CEO husband. His gaze sweeps the room, then locks onto me. The world narrows to that point of contact. "you?" he calls out, his voice unsteady, threaded with pure confusion. Everything stops. The last secret has just evaporated.
