Eric swallowed hard as he set the phone back in its cradle. The

worry that had settled in the pit of his stomach threatened to expel

the breakfast he’d ordered from room service half an hour before.

He sat heavily on the king size hotel bed and sighed, leaving the

ends of his tie dangling from his neck. He leaned his forearms on

his knees and hung his head.

Poetic justice? Is that what this was? The fact that he woke up

alone didn’t take away from the actuality that he’d spent yet another

night with a woman not his wife. In turn, she’d spent the night with

a lesbian. No, not in the biblical sense—not like him—but spent the

night just the same.

Of course, he only knew that because of Dawn. She’d taken

great pleasure in warning him about their new neighbor. He shook

his head, reproaching himself for ever telling his sister about Jenni-

fer and Sarah in the first place. She’d made it her duty to look out

for him by watching his wife like a hawk and he found that she

enjoyed it a little too much.

Hadn’t it been a phase? Hadn’t Sarah simply been an experi-

ment?

Isn’t that what some girls do in college?

He’d been clinging to that hope, to that idea, since the first day

of their marriage. He had vowed not to stifle her, but he had

watched her carefully, paid attention to those with whom she asso-

ciated. To his surprise, there weren’t many. She didn’t have a lot of

friends, though he never understood why. She was very likable. She

was kind and intelligent and witty, but somehow he could only

think of a couple women with whom she spent time. She had Kayla

and she had Dawn.

And now she had Alex.

The churning in his stomach continued as he scrubbed a hand

over his freshly-shaven face. For the first time in years, he allowed

himself to actually think the dreaded thought he’d been avoiding for

so long.

My marriage is falling apart.

He closed his eyes against the threat of tears.
