When There Is Nothing Left But Love

To this day, I could still remember Emery’s words to me, “If I ever meet such a person, I’ll make sure they never have another day of peace in their life!”

Perhaps she already had her suspicions then that her marriage wouldn’t last long.

When she saw that I was quiet, Emery decided to change the subject. “By the way, I got someone to check out that Mr. Cress you were talking about. He seems all right. He’s from K City and has been teaching at Summer’s school for four years now. Kids love him because he’s young and good-looking.”

“Oh, thank you.” I nodded, my face devoid of expressions.

Emery suddenly stopped stirring her coffee and dropped the spoon. “Hey, don’t be like this. You’re divorced too, and now that I’m in the same boat as you, you should be happy for me. From now on, we’ll have each other for support. Men can all go to hell.”

Now that she had brought up my divorce, I knew I couldn’t keep the truth from her anymore. I had to come clean to her, and it was now or never.

After hearing the truth, Emery was surprisingly quiet. All she did was stare at me oddly.

“Why are you looking at me like that?” I finally asked as her stare was starting to make me uncomfortable.
