The Mistress’s Story

When did I decide to give him up?

When I discovered that his wife still loved him . . . and he still loved her?

Or was it earlier, when I saw how I’d be remembered: as the woman who destroyed a marriage and seduced a man away from his wife and children?

Maybe it was when I caught a glimpse of my future as Robert’s wife/lover/housekeeper . . . and I didn’t like what I saw.

Yes. It was in that split second of clarity that I decided to let him go.

But I still loved him.

God help me, I still loved him. And I didn’t think that would ever change.
