It was getting late and the sun was beginning to set over Windenberg.
Dominic Fyres was supposed to meet his wife,
Moira to talk about what the future means for them at this point. It had been two months since
Dominic unexpectedly walked out on her and their two teenage daughters,
Siobhan and
Morgan.
Dominic had been having an affair for over a year, with
Serena Piper, one of the hottest and wealthiest women in the town. But he had never told
Moira about the affair. Eventually he fell in love with
Serena, and they decided to move in together.
Dominic remembers when he finally mustered the courage to tell
Moira, he was puzzled at her nonchalant reaction. But in the twinkle of her eye, he had a feeling that she already had known.
“
Moira… my love. We have been together for 15 years. But I need you to know that I have fell for another woman. I am sorry for the way this has to be, but you know that our marriage has-”
“Is she pretty”
Moira said in the perkiest of tones and interrupting the speech
Dominic had been practicing for several days now.
“What?”
Dominic responded a little taken aback at
Moira’s little concern over the matter.
“Is she pretty?”
Moira stated again
“She’s beautiful”
Dominic almost entered a dream like state.
Moira looked down at the table, her mouth pursed as if she were thinking. She looked back up, her green eyes locking with
Dominic’s dark brown ones. And then she scrunched her eyebrows as if in slight confusion.
“Then we have nothing else to discuss” she said after following a heavy sigh
“
Moira we still have to discuss the ki-”
“Congratulations on your happiness.”
Moira strapped her purse onto her shoulder and walked out of the cafe. Leaving
Dominic alone to face himself.
But as much as
Dominic did not want
Moira to drag this out. He felt a wave of guilt because deep down, he was deeply in love with
Serena, and could not care less what happened to
Moira… and worst of all? He didn’t care much about his kids either.
