Looking up to George, I caught him looking at my chest. I felt self-conscious and looked away quickly. I should have been paying more attention to the...conversation, I heard hubby say:“You, guys, have fun, see you later!”With that I was left me alone with George in front of our house. Our conversation turned very flirty. George made it clear that my husband had offered me to him. My heart thumped with excitement when I heard that! I wondered what it was going to happen. I decided I would seek. I hope I don’t look as nervous as I feel.”“Hun, you look fine.

I knew enough of hurt to know that at this stage, nothing anybody could say would make the pain any easier to bear. But, at the same time, it was that same stage that began to allow for change to happen – hence his new relationship with me. Only time and personal introspection could.
