Lexi and Georgiana were sitting on Lexi's daybed. Georgiana was sipping champaigne.
"Can I ask you something?" Lexi asked.
"Of course, darling," said Georgiana.
"I heard you talking to Will's friend, Charles Hoskins, in his bedroom," said Lexi. "And it sounded like you were alone. Are you having an affair with him?"
Georgiana laughed.
"Of course we are!" Georgiana exclaimed.
"But I thought you loved William," Lexi said.
"I do," said Georgiana.
Georgiana took a sip of champaigne.
"Ah, love," said Georgiana.
"Was it love?" Lexi asked.
"Always," said Georgiana. "My mother and sister's are ashamed of me, but I'd rather end up wishing I hadn't than wishing I had. Wouldn't you?"
"I don't know," said Lexi. "But if you love them William, how can you love Charles?"
"I don't know," Georgiana said.
"But he's your husbands best friend," said Lexi. "How could you do that to him?"
"How could he do that to me?" Georgiana said, shrugging.
"What do you mean?" Lexi asked.
Georgiana started tearing up.
"Bess," Georgiana whispered.
"Bess?" Lexi questioned.
"He's sleeping with her," said Georgiana. "He loves me and Bess. I love him and Charlie."
"But marriage is a sacred bond," said Lexi.
"That hasn't stopped the four of us, has it?" said Georgiana sipping her champaigne.
