Dear Fonseca
I have been married for 23 years and am constantly trying to think up new ways to spice up my relationship. My favorite actor has a new movie coming out today. Everyone knows I'm in love with Chris Hemsworth. Sometimes when I kiss my husband I pretend I'm actually kissing Chris. I told my sister about this and she says I'm cheating. Am I? Is it wrong that I think of Chris when I'm kissing my husband?
