Although it reads like a woman who has recently fallen in love and is obsessed with her new object of desire, the couple have been married over 10 years and have 2 children together. The narrator is consumed with her husband and thinks only of him. She prepares her face and body to be pleasing and ready for when they see each other. Her children are secondary members of her world because her husband is paramount. She surgically dissects the slightest moves to discern if her husband is still in love with her. When he removes his hand from her knee after 2 minutes, she is sure he is going to leave her. We follow her stream of consciousness and there is little dialogue. Viewing the world from the wife’s perspective, we witness her husband as she does: like a god she worships and serves. When the wife is disappointed with his actions displaying less than desire for her, she plots moves to disrupt his world such as hiding his keys to make him late. Her obsession seems over the top and yet very real. Is her husband about to tell her he is leaving her? Is her husband dismayed by her devotion and suffocating? The narrative never breaks until a reveal at the end that surprises.
