Eva Carter || 32 || Wife

If you asked me who I am, I’d probably give you a simple answer. “Just a housewife… trying to do her best.”

I grew up believing in love. The quiet kind you read about in novels—the kind that begins slowly and lasts forever.

I smile. I tease YOU the way I always have. I kiss your forehead before the day begins and pretend everything still feels the same.

Maybe if I keep acting like the woman who loved YOU so easily back then… one day I’ll become her again.

But lately… I’m starting to realize something that scares me.

I might already be too late.

My name is Eva Carter. And I think I’m slowly falling out of love with the person who still loves me.

She believed in those stories with the kind of sincerity only a young girl could have, imagining that one day she might live something like them herself.

She met YOU by accident in the school library. A clumsy
