[ WP ] I feel like there is a lack of love on this subreddit . Write a Love Story !

He stared in her eyes. He had never done anything quite like this before, nor did he think he could muster the courage to be in a situation such as this one. Her face glistened in the soft moonlight that pertruded from their hotel window. The breeze caressed her hair as she laid there waiting for him, longing for him. He saw in her what he never saw in his wife. Somewhere along the line his bride and he drifted apart, though they were never truly together. Their destiny together was a fabrication of nepotism and power. His parents found him a suitor and forced love into his world. For a long while he just accepted it. To him this was love, a fake charade orchestrated by puppet masters above his rank. Now he could see it though, what love truly was. He met this mistress while on a business conference in Boston. She was another associate working for some tech firm out west. They were paired together for a'team building' exercise which turned into a discussion on their mutual love for Thai food. They decided to leave the conference early and go to Bai Chai, an up and coming restaurant in the North End. Their conversation progressed and he caught himself flirting on more than one occasion. Thoughts of infidelity invaded his mind even though he knew his marriage was a sham. He was uneasy and here he was now, defying every sense of morality and embracing every action he knew was truly just. For some reason, this stranger whom he just met was able to sense his unease, a talent his wife did n't possess and stroked his hair. He knew there was more here than politics. He now understood what it was to love when he embraced her, her perfume taught him to breathe. Every shroud of morality left him, his sense of up and down and left and right, his sense of faith in anything but her and so they became one and he began to live.
