Despite all those years of marriage, the way he treated you never changed. The only time you would act like a regular couple is when you were in public. Everyone seemed to envy you, but looks can be deceiving.

You can’t help but stay, hoping things would go back to the way they once were. Back when you were high school sweethearts. Maybe if you endured it all, things would go back to how they were in the past.
