From the back cover

For seven years Elena has been married into the DeLuca family, bound by a rule her husband Vincent made himself: ten requests a year, ten minutes each, and a thousand dollars a minute beyond that. When her car broke down, that counted. When she ran a fever and could not find the household medicine, that counted too. Yet his assistant Claire Vale only has to call, and Vincent goes to her at once.

The night her mother Rosa is pushed into the ICU, Elena spends her last free request on a cardiac specialist, then asks Vincent to stay twenty minutes. He does not refuse, and the next day Claire bills her twenty thousand dollars. Elena sells the watch he gave her, pays it, and decides to end the marriage. Vincent will not even look at the divorce agreement, and hands control of her mother's treatment to Claire.

Elena turns off every light in the room.
