Never Told Anyone

A married man on a station platform after the office party, when she says he could miss his train. A bridesmaid who shares the last hotel room with a stranger and never finishes her sentence. A woman who helps a colleague choose a Christmas present for someone he likes. A text from a college girlfriend at eleven at night, every night for a week. A phone number with one digit missing. A wife at a kitchen window, fourteen years in, who sends two words. Ten short, standalone confessions about desire, temptation and the moments people keep to themselves, each told by the one person who knows how it really ended. This is a work of fiction; every person and event is invented. It is about desire between adults and has no explicit content. (18+)
