My secret wife

In "My Secret Wife," the narrator finds herself married to Kerzen, a man she deeply admires. She prepares a meal for him, a fried tilapia that she's proud of, but Kerzen's reaction is far from enthusiastic. He finds the fish overcooked, comparing its texture to something unsuitable for consumption. Despite her embarrassment and initial desire to cook something else, Kerzen insists they eat what she has made, preventing her from ruining another dish. The narrator reflects on her past regrets regarding cooking lessons and finds herself struggling to eat the bitter, burnt fish. Kerzen's sarcastic remarks highlight her culinary shortcomings, yet she perseveres, acknowledging her own fault. The day, though challenging, is ultimately viewed as worthwhile because she is spending it with her husband, her former crush. She cherishes the daily interaction and the intimacy of their marriage, eagerly anticipating sharing her experiences with her friend Tamara, the only other person aware of her secret union.
