Mark's marriage was dying until Dr. Harrison made his recommendation: "Sarah needs validation outside the marriage." What started as therapy becomes Mark's nightmare and obsession when Sarah brings Darius to their next session - six feet of pure confidence that makes Mark feel invisible.
Now Mark sits in the corner every week, watching his wife discover pleasures he could never give her. Dr. Harrison calls it "therapeutic exposure," but Mark knows the truth - he's addicted to the humiliation, to watching Sarah submit to real men while he aches with jealous arousal.
Sarah has never been more beautiful than when she's being used, never more alive than when she's taking what she's been denied. And Mark? He gets what's left, drowning in the aftermath of his wife's awakening.
