My husband dragged me to the gala to impress the new boss. ‘Stay in the back your dress is embarrassing. Don’t make me look bad,’ he hissed. When the new CEO arrived, he ignored my husband’s handshake, walked straight to me, took my hand, and whispered with shaking breath, ‘I’ve been looking for you for thirty years…’ Behind him, my husband’s glass slipped from his fingers.
