Find Every Aperture - Chapter 1 - Dream Girl In South London
***
It's 1988, and you're married to one of London's most influential financiers. He's handsome, unfathomably rich, and gives you everything you could possibly want. A perfect life in a perfect house, the perfect husband.
The problem?
You don't love him. You never have.
When he is called away on a three-month long business engagement, he leaves you with a stack of cash and free reign to renovate as you see fit.
The interior designer you employ to help with the task is clever, charming and impossibly good-looking. You find yourself enthralled by their company.
The other problem?
She's a woman, and you can't seem to look away.

"You are playing a very dangerous game, sweetheart," Alcina says, in a voice that can't quite decide between warning and want. "That mouth of yours is going to get me into a lot of trouble."
"I think you want trouble, Alcina. I think you've wanted it from the second you saw me."
Her fingers close around your wrist, arresting your wandering hand. "I mean it. This won't do, Mrs Barreau. You have a husband. I'm not interested in married women."
