“It still hurts. So maybe I was.”

“Or maybe you were just in love with the idea of her. What being in a relationship meant to you. Maybe she wasn’t the right one for you to begin with.”

I hadn’t thought of that before. It’s not like I was completely surprised with Erica’s affair.

If I had no idea I wouldn’t have haired the private detective. 

“Maybe, what about you Bette?”

“What about me?”

“Why did you wait seconds before saying I do to make a run for it?”

We walked in silence for awhile before she looked up and I saw the tears in her eyes.

“I’m thinking because I wanted her to be the one. I wanted to spend the rest of my life with her. We were perfect for each other… I’ve had second thoughts about the whole thing ever since we agreed to get engaged. I just took it as cold feet. But once I saw her walking down the aisle. I knew there was more out there for me.”

“So you still don’t feel like you made a mistake?”

“No, if anything I’m a 100% sure I did the right thing. I guess I could of handled the whole thing differently. But at the time. I wasn’t looking for options. I just knew I had to get out of there.”

“She’s going to want to know why”. I know id want to know why.

I should ask Erica why she felt the need to cheat on me.

“and ill give her the best explanation I can master. But not right now.”

We walked the rest of the way in silence. Both lost in our thoughts. It was always a comfterble silence.

Once we arrived I made us a quick lunch, while she checked her e-mails.

Im putting some of my clothes in the closet, when I hear a light knock on the door.

“come in”

She enters the room wrapped only in towel. Fresh out of the shower.

She looked so hot, it took everything in me not to walk up to her and remove that towel.

She walked in and sat on the bed, exposing more of her breast.
