𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐝𝐢𝐝 𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐡𝐮𝐬𝐛𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰 there was no formal introduction needed. she knew the man in front of her all too well. " corrie this my new partner joshua , joshua this is my wife corrie. " her husbands words rang like a siren in her ear , triggering alarms so shrill inside her, they could shatter every window in the home. he wasn't supposed to be here. she was never supposed to see him again ... " josh—ua , nice to meet you. " a shaky hand moved forward to shake his hand , afraid that his touch alone would cause her to crumble to her knees. " anthony speaks very highly of you. " she kept up her composure , head high , amber eyes held steady, unwilling to ride the wave of fleeting emotions. she couldn't afford to let memories seep through the fault lines of her well-constructed facade. " im sure you will be a great asset to the company. " she delivered her lines perfectly. her words bore the weight of a thousand unsaid truths and carefully hidden past that she'd walled up within her. but within these walls, she was nothing less than a perfectly polished stepford wife - a porcelain doll wearing denial like a second skin, no matter anthonys own transgressions that were likely the office's open secret, and possibly now, joshua's knowledge too. " excuse me , I need to use the little girls room. " she mumbled and carried her poised self away, stealing borrowed breaths as though she'd been resurfacing from the depths of a forgotten place. finding a secluded hallway , she inhaled the biggest breathe she had ever taken , along with a huge gulp from her wine glass praying to god josh wouldn't find the courage to follow her. @gloomysummers
