" Hal, for being so smart, you are a total idiot. Yes, my kids are ahappy thought, but did you ever think about what I am going through? Iwanted to en... my life on Saturday. I could have, would have then... butI can't now. I thought about my options, and I refuse to do that to mychildren ? no matter how badly you hurt me."I turned away and fumbled in my purse for a tissue. As I wiped at myeyes, I felt Hal draw closer, then, a gentle touch on the shoulder. Iflinched, but did not pull away."Kate,. I called you a bunch of kissy-girls and ran off to catch frogs and play with Reggie.”“Yeah,” Xiomara smiled, “I still remember the feeling of those frogs down the back of my dress. But Zoë kept that talk up until we were 10. And then she fell hopelessly in love with Bradley and decided that I’d have to date Bradley’s best friend.”“Bradley’s gross,” Andrea interjected.“Worse than gross,” Connie agreed.“Does anyone want to play a game?” Hannah asked, “Maybe skip rope?”“I’m going to borrow Xiomara. " OK. Where do you go for your hair appointment?" Holt Renfrew," she said. Greg groaned. Only the most expensive place in town. No wonder he called her "Princess."After he hung up the phone, Greg shook his head, laughing at himself. He said, "Well, I sure gave her a talking-to, didn't I?" Then his mood sobered. Megan would be there. He'd see her again. For lunch, no less.When Amy told Megan about their lunch appointment, Megan felt really conflicted. On the one hand, she really wanted to see. She smiled and in that moment, I truly realized I could do and say what I wanted to her. So, while fucking her I leaned in, looked her straight in the eyes and told her she was a fucking whore. I grabbed her arms and held them down above her head with one hand and brought my other hand to her tit, then pinched her nipple hard and called her a fucking whore again. She gasped, and I lay on top of her and got my other hand to her other breast and pinched on both nipples and called her a slut. Both.
