'My mouth went dry, and my body felt hot. He knew I loved him. Not only him, everyone knew. Was I that obvious? I was flushed with embarrassment and with something else. The awareness of proximity. Even in this life-altering moment, all I wanted to do was just tip my head up so my lips could meet his. He was so tantalisingly close. He was my husband. We were in his bedroom dressed to be undressed. In another kinder universe, Dev would have kissed me now. He would have lifted me up in his arms and carried me to his bed. Then he would make sweet love to me. Introduce me to a world of pleasure. But in this universe, he knew I loved him and still didn’t love me back. He was so close yet so far.'
