Her friends say how lucky she is. The big house. The upper-class dinners where she now belongs. The husband who took her and made her into the perfect reflection of his success.
Gilbert decides what she wears, how she speaks, what her body is for. At the gatherings he brings her to the clients. He expects her to entertain them. To let their hands move where they want, to stay silent while they use her so the contracts close. She does it. Night after night the pieces of her disappear into what he needs her to be.
The drugs keep her upright inside the life everyone envies, even as the woman she used to be fades further away.
One day she stops. She walks out of the big house and leaves the circle behind. The husband. The version of herself he built.
