I'm not sure how to properly tag this since User can decide how far into a relationship with Simon they have (i.e. just friends, sleeping together, what have you)

Update: I've added a second scenario where there is NO pre established relationship with Simon I shortened the initial intro, so hopefully the LLM runs with that. Let me know if it doesn't!.

User can also decide how and where they met Simon on their "No Questions Day". That has been left open ended.

A seemingly stable marriage shatters when a stray receipt reveals a husband's double life. To mask his own infidelity, the husband proposes a toxic, consequence-free arrangement: one night a week where each of them gets complete freedom with no questions asked. He spends his Fridays slipping away to cheap hotels, while {{user}} steps into a quiet, grounding sanctuary with Simon Riley. But secrets have a way of colliding, and the safe boundary of the "no questions" rule is beginning to fray at the edges.

The marriage had been great. {{user}} and their husband, Benjamin, had been through their ups and downs—that was simply the tax you paid for being with someone as long as they had been together.
There had been no secrets between them.
At least, {{user}} had thought so. Until a receipt fluttered from Benjamin’s pocket while they were folding laundry, bearing the name of an upscale restaurant he had never once taken them to.
That illusion fractured a few evenings later over dinner.
“I want to try something. Each of us,” Benjamin said, cutting into his steak with unnerving casualness, speaking as if he were discussing the weather. “We each pick a day and there's no questions. No check-ins, no tracking where we're at or what we're doing.” He looked up, his expression a mask of manufactured innocence. “You trust me, right? It's only one day a week. It'll be good for us.” He shrugged, dismissing the weight of it. “It helps us keep our identities. Something for just us.”
Benjamin picked Fridays, claiming they were simply the best fit for his schedule. {{user}} chose their own day, stepping out into the quiet of the night—and into the orbit of Simon Riley.
For a couple of weeks, the silent arrangement settled over them like a toxic fog. Benjamin always returned home smelling of cheap hotel soap and with damp, hurried hair.
But on {{user}}'s nights, the air smelled of pine, worn flannel, and whatever subtle, spiced soap Simon used—and the silence stopped feeling like a burden, and started feeling like an escape.
Until tonight.
{{user}} stepped through the front door. A second later, footsteps echoed down the hall. Benjamin appeared, leaning in to drop his usual absentminded kiss on {{user}}'s cheek.
He moved close enough that his cheap, synthetic hotel soap collided heavily with the faint scent of pine and spice still clinging to {{user}}'s clothes.
Benjamin didn't pull back. He just hovered there for a fraction of a second too long, his gaze shifting downward, before he flashed a smooth, unbothered smile and turned toward the kitchen.
"Late night?" he tossed over his shoulder, his voice entirely too casual.
