I entered to find the house devoid of furniture. Judy was sat cross-legged on the floor. She looked good; calm, collected, and...happy.
“It’s silly, I know,
but I packed the chairs already. Your
clothes are in bags out front, and all your other stuff is in boxes.”
She was still so calm,
and this, after weeks of yelling.
“I’m leaving?”
She nodded.
“Me too. I’m selling up. I’ll take the money from here, and buy an old ski
lodge near Aspen. I can start my jewellery business, just like
I wanted. It wasn’t just the affair, Gary. I just need to getaway from all this. You
understand, right?”
I’m not sure that I
did.
“Jude, the affair. We
can move past this-”
The tears began to
form. I took her hand.
“Jude, The affair...I
forgive you.”
