This is a story I have thought about making for a while.

1994
Theresa giggled as the handsome stranger bought her another drink. He was such a gentleman, buying her drinks and complimenting her. It was such a pleasant change to have someone treat her like a princess. Jerry had been so negative recently. All he did was complain about the hardships of the sandwich shop and how his employees are ripping him off.
Then that golfa shows up at their door claiming to be a friend. She was all over him. Jerry the bastard went with her to "catch up" Theresa wasn't stupid. She could see what that puta wanted with Jerry. All Jerry would say was she was a Salky or Slinkie. Something magical that was for sure.
So Theresa got even; she dropped Justin and Alexandra off at her sister's home, then went to the closet bar. She had never been to this bar before. In fact she had never seen it before. It was a lot nicer than she imagined.
Theresa had sat alone nursing her drink for hours before he showed up. He was handsome and so pleasant. He had a bright happy smile, and such beautiful eyes. He started buying her drinks and listened to her gripe about Jerry.
Somehow the stranger, who hadn't given her his name, convinced her to get a hotel room. "To show Jerry what it felt like to worry," he had said. "you however are in no condition to go anywhere by yourself. You finish your drink and I'll get my car."
Theresa nodded, her eyes closed and her head resting on her hands. She was well past tipsy at this point. "You know, you are such a… a … what is it? El caballero. Thank you," she slurred as he handed her the fruity drink she had almost finished.
"You are welcome, my lady. Hey, Tom put this all on my tab will ya?" He said as he stood up and placed his jacket around Theresa's shoulders. After that everything became a blur. She had ridden in a car and checked into some hotel.
Then Theresa woke up alone in a king sized bed. She still wore her dress along with a single shoe on her left foot. There was no sign of the stranger. She really must have been wasted. What was really amazing was she had no hangover. She showered and dressed herself before heading back to her sisters to retrieve her children.
When she arrived home Jerry wasn't there. Theresa turned the television on for the kids and began making lunch. Jerry finally made it home around two in the afternoon, looking sad. All he said was that Roane had left back to the ocean, whatever that meant.
Theresa was angry; she was so upset about the woman that she gave Jerry the cold shoulder for almost a month, not that Jerry noticed. When he did notice, Theresa was now upset that it took him so long to notice. So it was no surprise that their love life was on the rocks.
Their marriage began falling apart. Theresa knew that she had to stay with him or end up losing Justin and Alexandra. So she stayed even though she was angry. Her anger lasted until two months after the "Roane incident". That is when Theresa realized that she was pregnant.
