‘This is nice,’ Joan says glancing at the waiter who eagerly rushes over to fill her glass.

‘I’m not sure,’ I say looking at my empty glass.

‘Belle, you have to open your eyes to life and I think that’s where you’ve gone totally wrong. You live in this romantic mist that we should all fall in love and be happy but life isn’t like that,’ she says.

‘Hal’s told me this too but I know you love him so you’re talking crap,’ I add. She’s examining my face closely. ‘What are you looking at?’

‘Nothing,’ she says sitting back in her chair and shaking her head. ‘Are you willing to partake in my proposal?’

‘Sleep with your lover to keep him happy. I don’t-.’

‘You already started last weekend,’ she half smiles and tilts her head to one side. ‘Hal told me.’

‘What doesn’t he tell you?’

‘Pretty much about everything if you want to know including how you perform in bed.’

I’m a little stunned at that comment but I’m trying to be 21st century and stay calm.

‘Shall we discuss how he performs? Share notes?’ I smile. ‘I’m sure we both know he seems up for it.’

‘Insatiable, I think the word is,’ she says and I see the throbbing vein in her neck and I feel a little nauseous.

‘What I really don’t understand is why you want to share him? Where do I fit in?’

‘You my dear,’ she says resting her head on the palm of her hand for a moment. ‘Are a passing fancy and if I tell him he shouldn’t go anywhere near you, as I have done so already, he doesn’t listen.’

‘You’re doing this to keep him happy?’

‘Sort of.’

‘That’s not healthy,’ I say.

‘Did he tell you how long we’ve been together?’

‘On and off for twenty years. It started when he was 13?’

‘As you know he’s 44 years old, not much older than you.’

‘I’m only 43,’ I quickly reply. ‘He was only born four years earlier than Kai?’

‘It’s irrelevant,’ she smiles. ‘As you get older it doesn’t matter.’

‘Did Kai know about him?’ I ask now full of questions about her affair.

‘He knew we were friends,’ she says dismissively.

‘Did he like Hal?’

‘Yes he did,’ she says with gritted teeth and I know she’s lying.

‘Kai didn’t approve did he?’ I can tell from her face.

‘He thought he was a little young so I kept Hal out of the way and that’s how Hal wanted it.’

‘So your secret love was a secret because your little boy didn’t like the idea of his mummy sleeping with someone nearly his own age?’ I laugh out because I could imagine Kai’s disgust. Also my beloved husband never liked competition from other good looking men.

‘Look,’ she says staring hard at me. ‘You can’t wait around for true love’s dream only to get to the point you’re so desperate, you make mistakes.’

‘Like me,’ I say glumly and then think of Josh. ‘Have you heard from Josh?’

‘Yes.’

‘Is he okay?’

‘Yes.’ She’s truly making me suffer.

‘Tell me something else,’ I plead. ‘Please.’

‘He has a new girlfriend and he’s going to divorce Meg.
