Gregory,
One time he came into Johnny O’s on a Saturday night. He was with another man. He, knowing I was married to you, said to me, “You still look amazing...the girl I once knew.”
On my next stop to his table, he said, “You shouldn’t have to work this hard.”
His words stunned me. Yet I stayed faithful to you.
But in all of our years, our twenty-two years, not once did you ever say anything so loving to me.
Why not?
It would have made everything better.
