THE KIDS HAD GONE TO my mother’s house for the week. She lived a couple of towns over, so when they visited her, she kept them a bit. It was the second week of their summer vacation and they were excited to be out and about. They were even more thrilled with being away from the Honey thing. Damn ingrates.

Their absence left Drew with the opening he needed. I came home from having a drink with our next-door neighbor, Francine, to find he’d cooked dinner. On the table were two plates with juicy steaks and all the fixings. A bottle of wine was sitting there, waiting to be opened, and candles were lit to add a romantic tone. It didn’t work for me though. Seeing the pat of butter melting inside the baked potato made me instantly question whether he’d used it on his penis beforehand and I had to hold back a gag.

“Did you have fun?” Those were his first words to me. He didn’t care if I had fun, he was making himself speak with me. Since Honey, I’d mostly been ignored. It bothered me at first, but after so long, you truly don’t give a damn anymore.

I answered his question then kicked off my heels. I walked across the room and immediately opened the wine and poured each of us a glass. He kept his front up while he pulled out my chair to let me get seated. The bastard even leaned down and kissed my cheek like he gave a damn about me at all.

I was raised as a child in the South. I moved up North by the time I was thirteen when my father accepted a better job that forced us to relocate. Manners have been ingrained into my being. If you didn’t show them, or use them when necessary, you’d get your ass busted. That part of my raising always stayed with me. Even though I knew this man was cheating on me, he was still the father of my children and I suppose in some way I felt he deserved some sort of respect, at first.

He took his seat then started a bit of small talk. “We were busy at the office today. I didn’t think I would ever get out of there.”

“I’m sorry,” I told him. “I know it can be intense.”

I didn’t really feel that way. I’d been at the office with Drew enough to know everyone else did most of the work. Most of his day was spent in his office reading up on things or speaking with his other buddies like he was so important. Asshole.

He stopped talking for a few minutes while he ate on his steak and acted like he was deep in thought. I knew what was coming though. In the back of my mind, I knew the conversation had to happen. Was I ready for it? I thought I was. In truth? No. The idea of facing the truth about Honey, both of her personas, wasn’t something a wife and mother wanted in her life.
