Chapter Twelve

#xa0;

Mary prepared herself for any number of reactions. After what she’d just told Peter, there weren’t many that would surprise her. He might be shocked. He might be horrified. He might even burst out laughing over the irony after having told her the exact same thing a few weeks ago. Anything would’ve been appropriate at this point. However, nothing could’ve prepared her for the cold silence that followed.

After saying those fateful words, every bit of ambient noise around seemed muted. Mary could no longer hear the wind blowing through the trees, the birds chirping or the people working in the closed waterpark across the street. It was as if the entire world had become frozen, leaving only her and Peter to confront this moment.

Agonizing over every second of silence, Mary felt ready to burst. She began to question whether she had the strength to get through it all.

Finally, Peter said something. “Damn,” was all that came out.

It wasn’t much, but it kept Mary from going over the edge. Still staring at the ground, she scoffed at him.

“Really? That’s all you have to say?” Mary said, bemused by his response. “Then again, maybe that’s the best I can hope for.”

“No, it’s not. I’m sorry if that sounded…off,” stammered Peter.

“Don’t be. It’s not like there’s a right way to react. Hell, I proved that when you told me the same thing.”

“Yeah, I don’t disagree. I’m just…trying to wrap my head around this so I can respond in a way that won’t piss you off.”

“Believe me, I’d rather be pissed right now,” Mary said.

“And since I can’t lie worth a damn, I guess we’re past that point. To be honest, I’m really curious now. This puts your reaction to my confession in a whole new context, but I don’t want to assume too much. I’ll just expect there were…circumstances.”

She still tried to get mad at him, but his sincere, wanting gaze of his was on her. She hadn’t been able to resist it when they had been kids. She had no hope of avoiding it now.

Frustration helped temper her emotions. Mary adjusted herself, attempting to salvage what remained of her strength. She turned back to face Peter, still clearly surprised by her admission. That might change once she told him the painful details.

“You know, sometimes I hate how understanding you are, Peter,” Mary said.

“You’re not the first beautiful woman to tell me that,” he said with a half-grin.

“I’m sure that got you laid almost as much as your washboard abs and toned biceps. But as much as I hate it at times, I need that understanding right now.”

“Does that mean the circumstances were similar or just the results?” Peter asked.

“I’m not sure. To be honest, I’ve tried very hard not to think about those circumstances for the past year. Needless to say, I failed miserably. You might pick up on some similarities, but keep in mind that my approach to sex was different from yours. You didn’t just rely on your looks. You used charm, understanding and dedication to get women out of their panties and into your bed.
