Never Lie

“Okay, hop on my back.” Forget everything I said. I love my husband. Truly.

My hero. Swoon.

Human beings don’t deal well with rejection. Back when our ancestors were hunters and gatherers, being ostracized from a tribe was akin to a death sentence. For that reason, rejection is experienced by human beings as being incredibly painful. Studies using functional MRI have shown the same areas of the brain become activated both during rejection and during real physical pain.

And I can’t tell Ethan why because he doesn’t know that I’m pregnant.

Oh-

“Jesus Christ.” He shuts off the stove. “Are you all right?”

“You should eat them. Put some meat on your bones—men like that.”

Why do you always have to be so damn curious about everything? Why do you have to know everything about everyone?”

ouch wtf

You bitch. You broke into my house.

I’m going to kill you.

“I want you to strip down naked and let me do anything I want to do to you. Anything.”

EWW
