This continues my ongoing saga (begin at Part I here: https://old.reddit.com/r/gonewildstories/comments/u33z2w/f_i_f45_had_a_secret_affair_for_8_months_it/). I’m doing this to explore and remember my own thoughts, feelings, responses and decisions. If you enjoy reading it, I’m thrilled.
This instalment was harder to write. It took me out of my comfort zone. It was harder to write without getting a bit more explicit, and that’s not my forte or my real interest. But what’s the point of writing if you can’t take on a challenge, as my life writing instructor used to ask (more on her later)? Anyway I hope this new approach doesn’t sacrifice what made people enjoy the previous instalments. But what can I do? I’m trying to be as true as possible to the experience, and Keith and my weekend away was an experience alright.
So Scott was taking the kids out of town for the Easter weekend to see his parents. We decided I’d stay home. It would save money on the flights, and I couldn’t really leave work before late afternoon on Thursday. The best flights were Wednesday night. It was easier for everyone, anyway. Scott’s mother and I don’t really get along that well. It wasn’t the first time we decided it was better if I didn’t join them for the visit. This time, though, I wouldn’t take advantage of my free weekend to get drunk with my girlfriends and watch romcoms.
