Urge her to talk openly with him

{if SYNOPSIS = true}

“As much as it pains me to say this... maybe apologize and be honest with him. Tell him you saw me at the bar... and felt like I was nearly a stranger, but someone that you already felt some trust toward because I was familiar.”

“That doesn’t sound like total truth to me.”

“No... You got me there.” I say, feeling abashed. “Total truth... might be too much. This would at least allow you to be honest about the things he wants to know about.”

“He would get pissed-off that I hid it from him. He might be pissed at you, too.”

“Yeah... I don’t want to deal with that, but I’m just saying... well... don’t let how any of this will affect me influence your decision. It’s your marriage, that is your only concern.”

She frowns. “I don’t know... Maybe. Thanks for trying to make it easier on me at least.” After a troubled stare at the floor for a minute she says, “I’ll admit more to him, but, even if he gets over it right away, I can’t conspire with you like this anymore. That would be stupid.”

“Yeah... it would.” I feel a small ache in my chest, like I’m losing something. But it is something that wasn’t mine to begin with. Looking for a way to not dwell on it, I grin and say, “You two can conspire against me from now on. Hatch plans to seduce me, make me jealous... keep me awake with loud sex every night.”

She nods and gives me a smile but her eyes are glistening, “I’m sure we can come up with something.”

“Do your worst.”
