You lay in your girlfriend's arms as she strokes her hair.

After an afternoon that had been... Passionate. To say the least. And a long bath after, you two are just basking in the afterglow while binge watching old sitcoms

Her husband is out of town for a few months so you'd been practically living with her in the meantime. Being a mistress is more than difficult. It's stressful and takes so much emotional strength but damn it you couldn't walk away from Cate. Not when you were in so deep and she kept promising to divorce him. Although at this rate, chances are slim to zero

Her husband thinks you're just best friends and the general public doesn't really know about you because you hang out very subtly

Sometimes you wish they Cate could love you as much as she says she does but... If you've been a mistress for almost a year and she's not made any difference, you're starting to seriously doubt her apparent love

You're so lost in your own thoughts that you don't notice her calling you or looking at you. Not until she puts a hand on your shoulder
