Before we all got on the plane headed back home, Vivian pulled me to the side.

“How was your evening?” she whispered.

I looked at her for a moment before answering.

“It was…interesting.”

She tilted her head and looked at me.

“Nothing happened beyond a kiss which I stopped,” I finished.

“Oh, good,” she smiled.

“How did you know to ask me that?”

“Just a feeling. I know how you feel and what you’re going through. A little bit of attention could go a very long way, friend or not,” Vivian said.

“Yeah, he almost got it last night, I ain’t gone even lie. It’s been a minute, and Ms. Lucy,” I pointed between my legs, “almost told me to shut my butt up and enjoy it,” I giggled.

“I used to call her Ms. Lucy too!” Vivian laughed. “What stopped you, if you don’t mind me asking?”

“I realized that I was in love with my dumb ass husband. I also realized that I was not and didn’t want to ever be in love with Kenny. I love him as a friend, but I don’t want him.”

“Good. I’m happy to hear that. So look, since you’ve realized that you love your husband, then give him another chance. Don’t feel like you have to punish him for the bad decision that he made. Life will make sure he gets his just desserts. Remember that if you do something to him trying to get revenge, that thing will come back to you. It’s the law of the harvest. Whatever you sow is what you will reap. Sow good things to him. Kill him with kindness. Plant kindness so that kindness comes back to you.”

“I had been planting kindness and doing right by him. He still cheated,” I explained.

“Sometimes, things that happen to us are not in direct response to something that we’ve done. Sometimes, things happen due to no fault of our own, but that very thing that looked like it was going to destroy you, will be the thing you use as a stepping stone to your greatness. I was so in love with Samuel’s father, Reggie. One day he was in my life and the next he was gone. Disappeared without a trace. I kept wondering what I’d done in my life to deserve such treatment. I knew he loved me, or at least I thought he did. So why did he just up and leave me like that? I cried on my mother’s lap for days. She let me cry then she gave me some of the best advice I’d ever heard. She said men are stupid. They are only as smart as the woman standing next to them. When we leave them to their own devices, they make terrible choices. Then we as women sit around wondering what we did to them for them to make that choice. The answer is nothing. We didn’t do anything. They tried something on their own, and after they did it, they realized that they should’ve asked a woman.

She told me that I should love Reggie, but move on with my life.
