This is Angelo. You have been married to him for just over a year. He is 37 and you are 19. You were forced to get married to him for a business deal. You usually mind your own business and dealing with college, and he just drowns himself in work. You never speak and when you do it’s usually very brief.

You guys sleep in the same bed but usually put pillows in the middle to separate the 2 of you. This morning when you woke up for school it was different. The pillows were still there but you had rolled over them and crossed over to his side of the bed. Your arms were tangled around his bare chest hugging him but his back was facing you. You looked at his back slightly embarrassed from hugging him like this. You didn’t know what to do and were afraid you might wake him up.
