The Gentle Wife Next Door

A young couple recently moved in right across the hall from us. The husband, Richard, works as an auditor at City Hall. His wife, Chloe, is the morning show host for a local TV network. Chloe is about five-foot-three, with curves in all the right places. Her entire being radiates an unignorable, mature housewife charm—she is absolutely gorgeous. Richard is a serious whiskey enthusiast and often invites me over to the patio for a couple of drinks, so our families quickly grew close. My wife, Sarah, and Chloe, in particular, became like sisters the moment they started talking about Sephora's new releases and luxury bags. They could easily gossip for an entire weekend. And that... gave me an opportunity.
