I was as happy as a woman can be, but every happiness has its own expiration date, and mine initially turned out to be expired. It is foolish to believe that a person can part with his past and change. People don't change, they put on a mask, adapting to circumstances and making you believe that this is their real face. Until suddenly, unexpectedly, this mask splits into pieces, and you realize with horror that a complete stranger has been next to you all this time, and your entire life together is a complete lie and sham.
