and reviewed so far! I love you all like lovers...;)
*~*Susan's POV*~*
I walk down Lexington in the cold air and my face feels so numb. Numbly, I walk into "Wibby Coffee" and take off my coat. My stomach feels so sick. Where the hell is Carter? It's almost three.
"Hey," I here him say, pulling me out of my thoughts
"Carter," I swallow hard, trying not to let him see my emotions get the best of me
"Susan, I just want to say, once again, that I am so sorry."
"Carter, sit down."
I can see the pain in his eyes. What am I doing thinking about myself? Carter has a family! I don't have anything. Well, accept Stan, but whatever thread that was hanging from, I think it's now substantially fair to say that relationship is over. Point is, this whole time I am thinking about myself. What about Abby? What is she going to think? We were so close. Now I know I'll never be able to be the same around her.
"What are we going to do?" I ask bluntly
"I have no idea," he says, "I think all we can so is just forget about it."
Well, that's a reply I was not expecting. As far as I know, Carter has never told Abby a lie in 15 years. I really don't know what to say.
"How can we begin to do that?"
"I don't want to hurt Abby. I can't hurt Abby. Please, I have given this thought all day so can we just agree to never speak of this again?"
"Carter, this is the stupidest idea ever. We NEED to tell Abby! By lying to her you're only hurting her more. I really don't think this a good idea."
"Susan, I will lose my family," he says choking up, "My whole world. I will tell Abby, in good time."
"Fine, Carter, I am not telling her. It's not my place to monopolize your marriage. Well, I guess anymore than I have already."
All he manages is a weak nod. I want to tell Abby. Why won't he? Keeping this in only does further damage.
"So are we done here?" he asks
"Ya, I think so."
"Then we have a deal. This never happened. It was just a stupid mistake."
"Deal," I say, feeling as if I've betrayed Abby
