Great story, Cali! I was hoping the W would be around long enough this afternoon to see that I was preparing for having guests tonight... friends are due here soon for a cookout, and really, we haven't entertained here in months with the exception of my son's graduation party a few weeks back. We used to have people over all the time, when this was a warm and welcoming place to be. Anyway, I'll try to leave clues that she missed something... I can also tell she misses these particular friends. Like me, they are pissed at her. And like me, they really love her, and want the real her back, too.
The OW is headed out of town tomorrow and won't be back till Sunday night, so my W must find a way to pass the time. I will go to the gym in the morning, then I have creativity workshop plans at noon, will go to confession and Mass in the early evening, and then will head to an outdoor movie night, complete with tapas and wine. I don't know if she'll miss me, start packing, be glad I'm not there so she can have a night of peace to herself in the house (which she hasn't in I don't know how long), or what.
And that's not my job to wonder, I know.
There is a part of me that longs to ask her to come to the movie night. But I long to ask the woman who isn't really there right now, so I won't.
