"You had sex with Artem?" John said in disbelief.
"Yes."
"Why?"
"I think mostly to get back at you." "You always accused me, I knew Artem liked me, so I just said the hell with it."
"I see."
She could tell he was angry. "See you're upset over something that happened two years ago." "That's exactly how you used to get when you accuse me." "I don't want to go back to that."
"I have to go."
"That's what I figured." He got up and left.
The next morning while she drank her coffee she set her tablet up on the island in the kitchen. She opened Skype and called Summer. She answered.
"Hi." Sherri said.
"Hi." Summer said. "How'd dinner go?"
"Not well."
"What happened?"
"Well he said he wanted to get back together, he loved me, he'd be willing to move to LA to make it work." "So I decided to test him." "I told him about my one-night stand with Artem."
"You did?"
"Yeah."
"How'd he take it?"
"As soon as I told him his demeanor totally changed." "He was mad but trying not to show it." "It was exactly like how he used to get when he accused me." "Then he got up and left." "I'm glad that was his reaction." "It reminded me of why I broke up with him in the first place."
"So no rekindling of an old flame."
"I'd say no."
"I'm sorry."
"It's alright." "I'd rather keep things the way they are." "I'm happy."
Later that night Sherri had just gotten home from the set. She'd been home for about twenty minutes when there was a knock at the door. She answered it and was shocked to see John standing there.
"John." She said surprised.
