How do you know she forgot?

The house was spotlesslike she didnt want to be reminded. As if anything out of place would make her think of that nightshe got rid of all the signs. She justerased what happened.

What happened after she tried to take you into the bedroom?

I left. I couldnt deal with her again so soon. I went back to Alices place and went straight to bed. I just couldnt talk about any of itI couldnt deal with it.

Have you been back to the house since then?

Not until yesterday.

What had you been doing since then?

I pretty much just stayed in bed.

You were in bed from Saturday until Thursday? Hes surprised at my revelation.

Yes. Hes looking at me with a puzzled expression. Needless to say, Ive had a lot of time to thinkabout my marriageand the babyand Bette

So, youve been in bed all weekwhat made you call me this morning?

I was upsetat something Alice told me. Now my mind goes back to this morning. Racing the way it did. I cant believe my own friend became the other womanand on the night my world fell apart.

Did she tell you something about Bette?

Noshe asked for my advice then told me that she kissed our other friend, Dana.

Does it upset you that your friends are finding happiness with each other?

Noits nothing like that. I tell him, preparing myself for whats about to come next. Danas engagedand when Alice told me she kissed herit took me back to Bette and CandaceI couldnt see Alice as anything but the other woman.

So, you were understandably angry. What did she say when you told her?

NothingI didnt tell herI just walked out.

You walked out? Why didnt you tell her why you were upset?

I just couldnt say anything.

Why not? Are you afraid that if you tell your friends when youre upset theyll think any less of you?

Nomaybe.

So you lock it away. The angerthe painthe resentment. Dont you realize you did the same thing with Bette?

Thats not true. I shared my feelings with Bette. I told her when I was upset or angry at her.
