At that point I was assuming nothing.I went to the crossbow range. I had built it back when Dawn was part of my life. When I got there, I posted the f...ont page of a local advertisement from a grocery store. I used it’s whole front page 11.5” by 14” as the target. It was pretty much the size of a person’s chest center mass. I drew an imperfect circle in the center of it with a red marker.Then I returned to my plastic chair to fire the crossbow with the plastic bolts. The first one went though. “I really wanted it to work, John,” she said regretfully. “I didn’t want all the hurt feelings and I really didn’t want a divorce, but I guess your mind is made up.”I shrugged. “I didn’t want to share my wife,” I told her. “We don’t always get what we want. I think you should know though, that Jane and I have talked and we’ve agreed to an arrangement that works for us since we’ll be apart for most of the next year and a half. She has someone at school and I’ll look into finding a friend. "I wasn't sure you were going to make it in today, after I heard you were in the hospital. But something told me you would be here today so I tried to move things around so that you wouldn't get too far behind," she said.I walked into the office and took a seat at the desk. I flipped through the messages, assigning a few of them to my staff, tossing a few in the garbage, making some notes so that Rebecca could deal with some others. When I was done I had three messages I needed to return. "Her name is Sheila ... ah ... something." What's your friend's name?" Charlie." Charlie what?" Oh, I see where this is going. You don't believe me, do you? You think I'm here to meet my friend's mother, have sex with her all weekend, order room service, break some of the furniture, make all kinds of noise and sneak out without settling the bill. I'll have you know that my friend's mother is respectable..." Sammy? I'm over here."How did I miss her? Sheila was sitting off to the side, in full.
