Yes Cali, just what I was thinking. She's enjoying my presence here right now, and she'll be here for a few hours before her "dinner plans." She doesn't know I'm leaving for my own plans in about half an hour, and as soon as I say goodbye, she'll react with, "Where are you going?"
By the way, she's not going to like living alone. She lived alone overseas for 15 years, and when she finally settled here, she was so happy to be surrounded by love and warmth. My suspicion is this: she'll be at the OW's house more often than not. Until the OW grates on her nerves and she needs more frequent and longer breaks. And those breaks will be in a tiny ramshackle place in a less than desirable neighborhood. And that's when I'm hoping thoughts of missing me will kick in... when I'll either be in one of our nicer rentals, or in the place I am building for myself.
To which a repentant and willing to reform W will be most welcome.
