Thank you HeavyD. These are good reminders. I know it's fresh, and nothing she says is true right now.
I just got back to town and her car wasn't home. I just knew where she was, or at least who she was with. Knew we needed a few things for our cookout today, so I went to the store. Surprise... I was wrong, she was shopping. I poked her because I literally bumped into her from behind at the end of an aisle. "If I'd known you were here, I wouldn't have come." She seemed genuinely happy to see me, gave me a hug. Asked where I was last night, "At your mom's?" I said of course, then just finished shopping with her. There was another store on the agenda, so she began to talk about our going together. Instead, I offered to take the groceries home and clean the grill while she finished the shopping. "Oh, okay. That's a good idea." Of course, no matter how happy she was to see me, those texts from the OW are omnipresent.
It's going to be a strange evening, playing happy family at this cookout. But then... what isn't strange these days?
