Sabrina and Lena sat alone at the table, the silence between them palpable.
Glancing over at the card table, Sabrina asked in a casual tone, “Lena, did you and Larry fight?”
Lena looked surprised, as if she hadn’t expected Sabrina to notice.
Sabrina’s lips curled into a knowing smile. “It’s written all over your face. You two have barely spoken a word all afternoon.”
Lena pursed her lips and shook her head in silence.
Lena was unwilling to divulge details, so Sabrina didn’t push the issue, sensing she wasn’t ready to talk.
But after a short time, Lena’s face scrunched up in concern as she turned to Sabrina and asked, “How did you feel when you found out about Tyrone’s affair?”
Sabrina was surprised, wondering if Larry had an affair.
She thought back to the day she discovered Tyrone’s infidelity and felt a wave of emotions wash over her. Though it had happened half a year ago, it seemed like a lifetime had passed.
“I felt… desperate, I guess. I found out that I was pregnant the day before Tyrone was to come back from his business trip. I was so excited to share the news with him. But then I found out about the affair.”
Sabrina trailed off, lost in thought, as she relived the pain and heartbreak of that moment.
But then she shook her head and forced a smile. “But that’s all in the past now. Lena, what’s important is that you figure out what you want. Do you think Larry wants to work things out?”
