I went back to my house to get my phone charger and a few things to take with me to Kansas City tonight. That’s when I walked through the front door of my home to see Easton in the kitchen.

We needed to talk but was I ready? He didn’t know that I heard everything he said and I couldn’t tell him that right now. It’d only piss him off.

“What are you doing here?” I asked, startled by his presence there.

“What am I doing here?” His tone was tense as he stared at the floor, his arms crossed over his chest. “I fucking live here.”

“I realize that.” I walked past him and into the kitchen to grab my phone charger off the counter.

“We’re married, Arie!” He stopped me when I walked by him, his hand on my arm. “Did you fucking forget that?”

“Did you fucking forget that? Because I sure as hell I didn’t.” My eyes remained on the slated stone entry floor.

“This is bullshit. You’re not even listening to me. You wanted to leave long before that. Didn’t you?” his voice was sharp, begging the attention I wasn’t giving him. “And when you saw them, you found your out.”

“So this is getting blamed on me then? You have got to be kidding me!”

He was right. I did. And I have no idea why. Maybe it’s me. Maybe it’s him. Or maybe, it’s both of us right now.

“Or maybe it was your way of pushing me away.”

Breathing a labored sigh, Eason said, “I don’t understand why I have to take all the blame in this.”

“What does that even mean?”

“It means this isn’t all my fault.”

“Yeah? Well I wasn’t the one wrapped in a sheet with two guys whispering sweet nothings in my ear!” My hands started to shake, a sure sign I was about to get pissed. Looking at him it was clear the emotion was suffocating us both.

“Yet you just walked away. You didn’t even let me explain.” His shoulders rose and fell with each labored breath. His expression bordered on painful, his eyes dark.

“I saw you…there wasn’t much to explain.” I said, clearing my throat.

“But you didn’t see me waking up thinking that was you, or me telling them to get out. You didn’t see me tearing apart our motor coach that night because you left. You didn’t see that because you didn’t want to.”

“Why now? Why explain all this now and not the next day or even by calling me that night? You haven’t heard me or been mentally present, hell, even physically present the majority of the time, in our marriage in a long time.”

With unsteady hands, he pushed his hair out of his face, obsessing over this like I knew he would. “Well, for one, you turned off your phone and wouldn’t talk to me. I fucking called you and texted you. Even came home after the race at three in the morning to see if you were here. And when you weren’t, I was pissed off.
