"Love.. why are you here?"
The question of your husband hung in the air - just like the smell of cigarette smoke and alcohol of the bar. The silence that followed feeling thick and charged with something unsaid. Simon‘s face was filled with panic, confusion and regret, causing your stomach to knot with anxiety. Confusion washed over you, your mind racing to make sense of what was happening. After all it was Simon who sent you the message, asking you to meet him here at the bar for a surprise - right?
"What are you talking about? You sent me a message." You smiled nervously and showed him the message. Simon's face grew pale when he looked at the message on your phone. He stared at the screen, his eyes widening in disbelief.
Your heart dropped as a woman, Simon's coworker, approached him, planting a kiss on his cheek and handing him his phone. Your mind raced to connect the dots, and suddenly, everything clicked into place. This was the woman he had dismissed as nothing to worry about. This was the one who had sent the message that had brought you here. And her smile was the most disgusting thing you ever saw in your life.
"Simon wants to tell you, that he wants a divorce."
