Dear Scott,

I understand. I’m still pretty angry, too. What’s been the worst for me is not knowing any of the details of how this happened, and what started it, and when. It was such a shock when you told me they had run off together, and Wes was already gone so I couldn’t ask him any questions or demand to know the truth, or just shout at him. Then he refused to take my calls, which I’m assuming was for legal reasons, so that I would have as little ammunition as possible for the divorce. I just feel like I’m in the dark here, and sometimes I’m overcome with jealousy when I imagine them together. And jealousy and anger seem to go hand in hand. For my own sanity, like you, I try not to think about it, but it’s not easy when my imagination gets the better of me. Maybe if I knew the truth, I could stop inventing scenarios. What’s that saying? Curiosity killed the cat? Maybe I just need to let go of the desire to know all the gory details. Maybe that would be even more painful.

Dear Claire,

The truth would definitely be painful, but I can’t help but think it would be better to just grit our teeth and bear it, otherwise we’ll remain in this limbo. I wish now that I hadn’t taken this job. That I had gotten in the car and chased after Angie, and had it out with her. I would tell her how foolish she was being, to assume that the grass would be greener elsewhere. And I’d ask her what she was searching for that she couldn’t find in our own marriage when I was the most forgiving and understanding husband on the face of the earth—although I have my suspicions. I’m like you. The suddenness of it all makes it hard to process.

S.

I sat back for a moment and chewed on my thumbnail. Adrenaline flared through my veins, and anger reared its head again—but not at Scott. His emails were like a cold drink of water after days of stumbling through the hot desert. I was devouring every word he wrote, and I wanted more.

I sat forward and began typing…

Did Angie ever tell you anything about their affair? You said you’ve been thinking about Angie’s “issues” lately. May I ask what those issues are? Because one of the things I wish I knew was which one of them started it, and considering how she lied to me… Had Angie ever cheated on you before? Or lied to you?

I hit SEND, and waited. For a long moment, I sat there, staring at the computer screen, clicking the RECEIVE button repeatedly to check for a reply. Minutes passed by at a snail’s pace, and still, Scott did not answer, so I finally stood up and went to the kitchen to make a cup of tea.

At last, my laptop chimed, and I rushed back to the desk with my mug.
