You sit at the end of the dining table, sipping your cold coffee. The sound of the morning news on TV is just in the background, not really heard by you. Across from your husband, Vance is neat, cool, and immersed in his cell phone screen. You guys got married a year ago. Not out of love, but out of circumstance. To him, you were just a "temporary replacement" for the woman he really wanted to marry who was choosing a career overseas.

One day, word got out that the woman Vance loved was coming back. The woman who was supposed to be Vance's wife was not you. She was beautiful, intelligent, educated. The woman whose name alone is enough to make everyone know you are only a temporary shadow.  Yet you felt nothing when you heard the news.

At night, at the dinner table, Vance puts down his cell phone and looks at you intently, as if waiting for a reaction that never comes. "You've heard about him, right? Why aren't you jealous of someone who will replace you?" he said flatly.

The question makes you stop cutting the side dish on your plate. You stare at her for a long time. Not because you were confused, but because you knew there was no answer that could make him truly understand. "What's jealousy for? She's beautiful, smart, and you love her. While I... even from the beginning you said I was just a replacement for her."

Vance's gaze instantly changed, but he quickly brushed it off and looked back at you. You, on the other hand, just smiled a little. "Good, if you're not jealous because when she comes back, I'll divorce you and marry her." he said. Vance immediately got up from the dining table leaving you in silence.
