she was genuinely shocked
they say one always knows
or senses betrayal
she did not
if he buys new underwear
that's a sign
her girlfriends said
but he had not
they also said
husbands always
stray with younger women
not in this case
for some reason
she believed this would never happen to her
george was so solid and serious
his only passion being classic cars
in the throes of george the accountant's version of lovemaking
he declared that he would never swap her ever
not even for an S1 Bentley Continental Fastback

Sigh.. sometimes we believe in someone so blindly that we refuse to see their darker ..more dangerous side. Beautifully executed.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Sherry, an age old story...exposing human weakness. A good write!
ReplyDeleteI am sure many wives would be pleased in his passion for cars rather than his secretary in the office. She should show enthusiasm for cars too but not expect him to join in the crochet club with her!
ReplyDeleteClever.
