The drive back to St. Ann was not as turbulent for Kelly, it was as if something that was broken in her head was finally fixed, and she seriously contemplated driving home and telling all to her husband, but the possible repercussions of her actions made her recoil. Once the bonds of trust were broken in a relationship it would never be the same. She couldn’t bear to think of the devastation that would follow in the wake of her confession to Theo.

She had admitted a third party and another family into their relationship, how does one recover from that?

If she were on the receiving end of such news she knew that it would devastate her; drive her crazy.

Wasn’t there some rule that said that your spouse didn’t need to know everything? That one should just leave well enough alone and that some secrets were better not exposed. After all, what one didn’t know wouldn’t hurt them.

In theory that was fine but the reality was pure torture. How did some married women live with themselves for years knowing that a child—born as a result of an affair—did not belong to their spouse?

How did they live with it and not give something away?

She could barely breathe from the pressure of the guilt surrounding her. Each day it got worse. Each day the guilt stung a little deeper; her wounds gapped a little wider and she was left floundering in the quagmire of her sins.

“Lord, help me,” she whispered.

When she entered the town of Ocho Rios she decided to visit her parents at Hibiscus Close, a scenic spot overlooking the town of Ocho Rios. The light was fading fast and it was barely five o’ clock.

She looked at the clock on the dashboard. Theo had called her twice to find out where she was and to let her know that he was stuck in a church council meeting and would be home late.

She turned left into her parent's driveway and parked behind Erica's car. Her mother was a free spirit who planted herbs and medicinal plants, played the harp and went to soap making and flower arranging classes.

She was fifty-nine years old but looked at least ten years younger. It was often a source of irritation to Erica that strangers assumed that Erica was the mother and Lola was the daughter whenever they went out together.

Her father was the opposite. He was a serious—more of a logical thinker—and though he had a law degree, he never practiced, choosing instead to run a chain of successful supermarkets on the North Coast. He lived a retirees dream, playing golf all week and rarely checking in on his businesses.

When he did check on the books, his eagle eyes would catch the slightest mistake, so his managers were really conscientious with their accounting. Kelly looked for his car but didn’t see it. More than likely he was off playing golf. She took the baby from the car and slammed the door.

“Bring my grandchild here,” Lola was at the front door in a flowing summer dress; her eyes sparkling.
