“So, I’ll see you tomorrow, right?”

“Of course, baby,” Gary said, kissing Faith on the lips, patting her on the behind, then walking out her front door.

Faith stood there on her porch and watched till his car pulled out of sight. It was only eight o’clock, but he was leaving after being there for only two hours.

“I have business to take care of,” was his excuse, but Faith wasn’t some fool, or at least she wasn’t when it came to him. She had been dealing with Gary long enough to know the code words for “I need to be getting home to my wife and children.” That’s what it was, and even though she didn’t want to let him leave, felt like a fool allowing him to, considering that they were supposed to be in a relationship, supposed to someday be getting married, she let him walk out that door.

It was partly because she knew that this was the last of it. Gary had already started to move his stuff over to Faith’s house, and that meant commitment. The overnight bag that he had brought over today and was now sitting in Faith’s hallway closet proved it. He would be finally filing for divorce tomorrow.

As Faith was still getting taken from behind, she herself could see the moment Jayson’s heart broke into a million pieces.

But why was she even thinking about that? That chapter of her life was over. Yes, she’d spent a year of her life with him, playing relationship, planning to play house with him, and although he was a good man, she was after other things.

Faith stepped back into her house, closing the front door behind her, wondering if there had been no Gary, could things have worked between her and Jayson? She didn’t want to admit it to herself, but she thought it was possible. There were times when she would almost forget that it was a game she was playing with him. She would almost lose herself in the excitement of planning for their marriage. There were times when she would go with him on his little imaginary journeys into the future, and she would see the
