I must say that that's two bastards I won't mind missing totally for three years. Three centuries would be too short!"She laughed at this witticism. T...here were times when she surprised herself! But the Professor, she noticed, was not amused. Just what did she have to do in order to make this cold fish smile?If she had known that the Professor had high hopes of selling his products for a huge sum to the FBI, CIA and other regiments in the Armies of Righteousness, she would have seen that her. "Thank you, Richard," she said softly. "I'm glad. Anyway," and the breathless excitement was back in her voice, "they're going to stage an exhibition match against Marlborough College Girls Colts with a huge tea party afterwards." Wow!" said Richard. "Marlborough's a top public school and well known for its hockey. That'll be a pretty tough match." Ye-es!" said Annette nodding vigorously."When is it?" Not fixed but probably the first or second Saturday in November." Right! No appointments on. At least he didbefore we became a couple," she said."And do both of you live better now that you are together?" he asked."Of course we do," she insisted."And does he take care of you?" Yes, he takes good care of me. He's very attentive."She was falling into that pattern of automatic response. Brother Paulwas pretty sure that he had gone around that mental wall she had insidenow."You should be with him then, you should be in the home being his wifethen," he said more firmly."I want that," she. I didn’t bother closing the door. They didn’t seem to care, so why should I?Sally caught my eye and mouthed, “I’m sorry.”I nodded my thanks as my tears started to flow, and I left the office as quickly as I could.I was lost. I loved Gail with all my heart, even as she pushed me away.One thing I was NOT going to do was put up with her infidelity. This situation had come to a head and the future of our marriage was in the balance. I had tried everything I knew. There would be no more passively.
