I felt my cheeks flush with embarrassment. I couldn’t believe Edward could talk about romance and intimacy in such a calm, indifferent tone. For people like him, relationships between men and women were as routine as having a meal or a glass of water- nothing special at all.

The real world is split by invisible lines, and the gulf between social classes is like a hidden net, always keeping our worlds apart.

Ryan and I were like two people out of sync with time–meeting in the same place and moment, but that didn’t mean we ever had a real shot at being together.

Edward didn’t miss the flicker of emotion on my face. He continued, “I know you’re not happy about this, and it probably hurts. But you’ve been married before–you should know that love is the last thing a marriage needs.”

I shot him a surprised look. The last time I eavesdropped on him and Ryan talking, I found out he’d been divorced too, and event had a kid with his ex–wife.

Seeing the defiance in my eyes, Edward scoffed. “Marriage is all about management. As long as there are interests involved, the best way is to join forces with someone strong, right?”

I dropped my head, feeling defeated, but I couldn’t help agreeing with him.

Jared and I got married in a burst of passion, but after tying the knot, we barely spoke the same language. I couldn’t help him with his career, and there was no way I could ever catch up to his pace.

I’m just not cut out for marriage–divorce was really the best thing for me.

But now… Jared’s stuck in some weird cycle. Before the divorce, he was chasing a thrill with Tracy, and now he’s got his Seyes back
