Gen, Then

Gen stared at her wall, at the pictures of Meg and Thad, the myriad of pictures with the other woman who called herself Ms. Thibault, at the maps, at the pictures of Thad and Angie.

After the call to Jenkins, she asked him to take some additional pictures...of Thad with Angie. She had come and gone from “Ms. Thibault’s” apartment, and why? Was it some sort of love nest that he used for all of his lovers? How many did he have?

Her wall was growing larger, and it had outgrown the poster board she had originally bought for this purpose. She’d wanted Jenkins to get more pictures of Thad and Meg, but he hadn’t been able to capture any. Her husband was wily. She sat still and contemplated sending Meg the photos of Thad with Angie.

It would have to be anonymous, of course, and it would send a dagger right through Meg’s heart. But if she did that, then Meg would probably call it off with him, and that didn’t suit Gen’s plans. Not at this stage.

No, Gen had set the ball in motion, and it was already rolling.

She couldn’t change things now.

Then again, no matter what Meg chose to do at this point, it wouldn’t change what she’d already done.

Gen could basically proceed with whatever plans she wanted, and it still wouldn’t change the fact that her only sister had slept with her husband.

Her fingers sifted through the large pile, the ammunition that she’d acquired.

Gen had so much of it now, so much proof. There was so much deception here, so much darkness. She’d never have thought it of her sister, and she was sure Joe hadn’t, either. Should Gen tell him?

She pictured his face and Joey’s, both so loving and kind. It would crush them, and she didn’t want to be the one to do that. She’d rather let Meg handle that business on her own.

Today was a Friday, and she wanted to mess with Thad. She knew he probably had plans with Meg for that evening... Wasn’t that what people in relationships did on the weekends?

So she texted him.

Hey. I thought we could have a date tonight? What do you think?

The thought honestly turned her stomach, but she didn’t have to sleep with him. In fact, she would never have sex with him again. But messing with him was much different.

Far different.

He answered an hour later.

I wish I could, honey. But I’ve got to work late.

She narrowed her eyes.

No. Listen, I’ve been patient for weeks. I need time, too.

It took him another hour before he texted back in agreement, and she could feel his resentment. He probably had to cancel something romantic with Meg, and that brought her immense satisfaction.

She returned to their condo, intent on playing with his mind. It was only fair.

She buffed and shaved and perfumed. She lit candles and ordered takeout, and set it up as a picnic on the living room floor overlooking the city. It was the perfect romantic setting.

Thad would be horrified.
