Martha wants Chuck back

One Page Oracle:
Is it Martha interrupting you and Chuck? (likely) 5, 2 Yes.
Does Martha want him back? (unlikely) 6, 5 Yes.
Does Chuck want her back? (likely; he's a softie): 3, 2 Yes. So it's a reunion with bonus naked old girlfriend.

"Chuck. You could have waited until the divorce was final."

It's Martha Murphy, big as life and quite as natural. With papers in her hand. Looking at you and Chuck, kneeling naked by his bedside, praying in gratitude and thanksgiving for the witnessing of love you were going to do together.

"I want you back, Chuck. Send the floozy home."

You blink. "Martha, hon?"

"God DAMN, it's Mary Forbes. How COULD you, Chuck? With all you told me about her?"

Chuck starts saying something but really this is your story, so you hush him.

"Martha, let me explain."

Roll +COOL to Get Out of Trouble: 8. Yes, but it will cost you.

It takes all your confidence and belief in the rightness of love and of your needs as a woman burned out of house and home, escaping by God's grace into the arms of the fire department and then your loyal property and casualty insurance agent who had not known bodily love for months and who had been, after all, your partner in young love.

Martha begrudgingly yields an old top and skirt from the clothes she'd left behind, and insists on going with you and Chuck to drop you off at a motel with an advance on the insurance money.

Chuck sends a text to your phone about catching up tomorrow to get the paperwork in motion. Martha wants me back, says it's all her fault. I still love her and I want to be together again for Pete and especially Tillie.

Is she still good in bed? you can't resist replying.

Yes.

God bless you both.

You have 5 XP, +0 Hard, +3 Hot, +0 Cool, -1 Control, and the Character Moves Truth, Mistress, Mind Control, and Touch Yourself, and can spend 5 XP to pick a new Character Move from Create a Female PC.

You're burned out of house and home, and hoping that Cheryl is safely home with her man and her nearly grown boys.

The motel is a dreary place, with nary an angel in sight. You could go stay with Mandy. Maybe Brian could stay, too. After all, Mandy had Brian first before you stole him off her and married him.

Except that Mandy never actually let go.

It's worked out that you and Brian have been lovers to Mandy ever since, though you and your honeybear don't talk about when he visits or stays overnight with Mandy, or when you stay late loving up on Mandy. Though you and Mandy do talk about Brian behind his back. And Brian still sort of plays dad to Mandy's grown daughter Deenie, or did until she left to join the army.

So Mandy, probably tomorrow.
