The first few days after the wedding, our little house was filled with laughter and romance. I thought we’d have passionate honeymoons, sweet moments like the ones I’d seen in movies. I was mentally prepared, eager for it. However, the first night, when I approached him, Ricardo just gave me a soft kiss on the forehead and turned away. He said he was tired, that he needed to rest. I didn’t think much of it; I believed him, because in fact, a long and tiring wedding day had exhausted both of us.
