Oh and one more thing before you decide."As if that wasn't enough, there was something else? "Paul asked me on a date next Friday. I said yes. We will...go out for a meal and dancing and then I expect we will go to his flat for sex before he brings me home. So if I come home with you, you have to accept that happening."I was stunned by what my wife had told me but I knew I didn't want to lose her. I took her hand and pulled her onto my lap and told her I didn't want her to move out. I loved her,. I then crawled into bed failing to notice the lump under the covers on the far side.I had just snuggled into my pillow and relaxed when suddenly a blinding light sprung forth from the lamp, on the other side of the bed. I turned and found myself looking up at a beautiful woman sitting up in bed and staring down at me.Both of us sprang from opposite sides of the bed in surprise and confronted one another, me in my boxer shorts and her in a very sexy silken chemise.I thought, oh no I've gotten. I take back all those nasty things I said about you." Shit, they're probably true. If anybody would know, it'd be you." All kidding aside. You're a life saver."I knew he hated any hint of seriousness. I could almost hear him blushing over the phone. "Hey, that's what friends are for, right?" That's right. And I couldn't ask for a better one." Ditto. Asshole." Shit. You had to go and spoil it. Listen, I gotta run. Give your family my love and have a great Christmas. I'll give you a call next. “HEY!” he cried, “Don’t pull away Honey!”“No ... no, it’s not that ... you’ve got to listen to me.” Sybil made a last ditch attempt to reason with the man, trying to remember that she was a grown woman with intelligence who could certainly explain her situation to him. It just didn’t seem possible that she could be placed in a position where all her upbringing and her recently attained status in the town couldn’t help her. But her voice came out a thin quaver, that was not at all what she had.
