VERONICA HAD BEEN FEELING OUT of sorts for days. Everything about her life suddenly seemed so difficult. She felt as if she was wading through water. Things were going fine on the surface, Hank seemed to have forgotten about the little incident they’d had when they tried to have anal sex, but underneath, Veronica’s emotions were in turmoil. All she could think about was Matt. Ever since Ariel had told her that Matt was in love with her, she just couldn’t get him out of her mind.

“Could you pass the butter?” she said to Hank.

He was sitting across the dinner table from her enjoying his steak. She hadn’t seen Kyle all day but had tried calling him four times for dinner. Ever since getting a girlfriend he’d definitely become harder to keep track of.

Hank passed her the butter and cleared his throat. “Honey, are you alright?”

“What do you mean?” she said.

“You just seem like you’ve been, I don’t know, distant.”

Veronica looked up at him. “I know, honey. I’m sorry.”

“What is it?”

“I don’t know,” Veronica said. “Do you ever just feel like you need to shake things up a bit?”

“Of course I do,” Hank said.

That was one of the things Veronica really appreciated about Hank. She could always rely on his support. No matter what she brought up, he would always try to help her. She knew she should just get Matt out of her mind and appreciate the life she’d created with Hank.

“I’ve been thinking about opening a restaurant,” she said.

Hank nodded as he chewed on his steak. “You’ve always wanted to do that. Before we got married that was your plan wasn’t it?”

“It was, but it somehow slipped away from me.”

“And you spent all that time traveling and learning all those fancy foreign recipes.”

She thought back to those years, traveling in Spain and France, tasting new foods, experiencing new adventures, living a life that was exciting and fulfilling. She thought that if she put her energy into a new project she might be able to forget about Matt and settle down in her current life again.

“And I think the timing is pretty good, for us I mean. Kyle’s going to be off at college next year.”

“The timing’s great, as far as I’m concerned,” Hank said. “Financially, we’re very secure. We would definitely be in a good position to make an investment. Put some money into the place. Get you a really good start.”

She looked up at him. She was so grateful. He was always so good to her. All she had to say was that she was thinking of opening a restaurant and he was ready to support her a hundred percent. She had to remember to appreciate things like that. Hank didn’t thrill her, he didn’t make her dizzy with desire and lust, but he was a good man and dependable.

“I’ll call Matt,” Hank said.

“What?” Veronica almost fell off her chair. Why was he bringing up Matt? “Why?”

“You’re going to need a contractor. The first job will be finding the perfect location, and you’ll need Matt’s help with that.
