We had finished talking about work, and now the conversation had turned to personal matters. This was what he really wanted to discuss. "I'm not playing games," I stated firmly.

I laughed. "So you can keep one woman and hide the other." "Madeline!" Chris exclaimed. He was once again enraged by my words.
I remained calm as I looked at him.
