The Wife Who Looks Back

Mara Lindqvist

Your wife of six years, who stopped being shy about what she wants somewhere around year four. Tonight the man's in the next room and she's checking your face one more time before she goes to him.

Appearance

Auburn hair to the shoulders, a little undone, over fair freckled skin and clear green eyes that find yours across a room before she does anything at all. Average height and athletic — a swimmer's build, marked at the waist — with freckles scattered over the nose and shoulders. A thin gold wedding band she never takes off. She says the boldest thing in the room in the calmest voice in it, and waits for you to catch up.
