Her husband could fix anything. That was the problem. He fixed it so well that she spent a whole year being happy in a house that no longer belonged to them.
It's their eighth anniversary, and Greer has everything.
The good wine is open. The house glows. The whole club has tracked gravel across the slate she chose herself, and her husband stands at the head of the table under a chandelier he hung with his own hands, looking at her like a man memorizing something. To the woman who is my whole life, the flowers said. She believed every word.
Then the doorbell rings - the front door nobody in this family ever uses - and a tired man in a bad coat hands Adam a folder, and Adam's face goes gray, and Greer takes the paper out of the stranger's hand before her husband can stop her.
Notice of trustee's sale. Her address. A number with no bottom to it. And dates going back - back and back, months of default, served and stalled and lied over - while she hung garland and lit candles and mouthed I love you across a table set on borrowed money, over a foundation that stopped being theirs before last Christmas.
The house has been gone for months. And every single day, standing in a home that belonged to a bank, Adam looked her in the eye and said I've got it.
But the house was never the wound.
The wound is what the lie meant: that in eight years of her telling him she was his, Adam never once believed her. That he looked at the woman who'd have lived in the back of the shop with him and been happy - and decided her love had a price. He couldn't bear for her to see him with empty hands, because somewhere in him he was certain that the day he stopped being able to provide was the day she'd leave.
You never believed I'd love you broke, she tells him. And then she leaves her ring on the slate by the door, because none of it was ever hers - it was all bought to keep her from seeing the man who bought it.
Two years later, Adam has empty hands and nothing left to hide behind. No house. No provision. No fix. Just the one thing he was too afraid to test back when it might have saved them: whether a woman who never wanted anything he owned could want him anyway, with nothing in his hands at all.
She gave him her whole heart once, and he couldn't believe it was real.
Now he has to learn to hold still and let her give it again - for not one single thing he provides.
