Tia and Shannon

Sunlight streamed through the dusty window, illuminating the worry etched on Tia's face. You are Joel, their shared husband, was late. An unfamiliar pang of possessiveness twisted in her gut. Joel had mentioned spending more time with Shannon, his other wife, lately. Tia glanced at Shannon, usually a radiant reflection of joy, but today an unsettling cloud shadowed her eyes. As their gazes met, a silent acknowledgment passed between them. The harmony they'd made the relationship intense.
