The marriage between Penny and Jake limped along. She never ‘caught’ Jake being unfaithful, he never confessed, so she played her role.
One of her co-workers attracted her attention, and she wondered if she should have an affair. She kept the relationship warm and close, but not sexual. Penny didn’t want any complications.
It was when Matthew was twelve, on his way to summer camp, Jake wanted to talk to her.
They returned home from the bus depot where they’d seen off Matthew. Entering the house, Jake led to the back patio. He made them drinks.
Penny sat, knowing what she would hear, and let Jake struggle through his admissions of adultery.
She didn’t say anything.
Jake expected some reaction, some emotionalism. There was none.
I didn’t know that this is a serial story.
This is chap 17 there are a few more…
It looks like some kind of wedding event.

you are very welcome. Thank you for commenting.
This is a reminder not to become desensitized in relationships because that allows for one to be led astray.
Or to misread particular actions and behaviours
