Claire watches her husband lie to her on the phone while he has his arm around her best friend twenty feet away. She doesn’t confront him. She makes Vanessa’s husband, Roman, a better offer: no strings, no feelings, just revenge. Then Ethan hears Claire moan on the phone—and the husband who hasn’t touched her in three months suddenly abandons his “business trip” and races home demanding answers. Too late. Claire is done begging for scraps. Vanessa can keep lying. Ethan can keep panicking. Claire and Roman keep going back to each other, even when no one is watching and there’s nothing left to prove. Revenge was supposed to make their cheating spouses hurt. It was never supposed to make Claire want Roman for real.
