just a game?” 

Jason was nervous. “It was an act.” He 

nudged Brittany. 

Brittany understood. “It was an act. I stayed 

in the guest room. If you can’t stand me, I’ll leave.” 

She challenged me. She’d sent me videos, bragging about Jason’s care, making 

breakfast every day. Jason posted a cooking picture, “Cooking for my loved one.” 

I was not his loved one. I always did the housework; he never helped.

Things escalated. The company’s stock plummeted. Shareholders panicked. 

At my hotel, Jason, with gifts, and company executives came to beg me. 

“Eleanor, couples fight. Jason knows he’s
