EXCERPT
Vanessa is sitting in a restaurant with Melanie, a
woman in her early twenties with curly, dark hair.
“So anyway,” Melanie says.
She is wearing chic business attire and diamond-studded hoop earrings. “He
stopped by my cubicle this morning and asked me if I wanted to go with him to a
party on Thursday. I told him, calmly, that I have to check my schedule.”
“Oh yeah,” Vanessa says.
“That was a good response.”
“So what’s going on in
married land?”
“Nothing much.”
“Are you sure? You’re kind
of quiet,” Melanie says.
“Well, something strange
happened last night,” Vanessa says.
“Like what?”
“When I was putting away the
clothes, I saw a note on Peter's tablet. There was a woman's name and phone
number on it. And today's date was in tiny print in the corner.”
“Did you ask him about it?” Melanie
asks.
“No, I mean, I figured it
could belong to a classmate or something.”
“Girl, you should’ve asked
about it,” Melanie says.
“Then I woke up in the
middle of the night and he was gone. And so was his cell phone.”
“And you didn't ask him
about that either?”
Vanessa clasps her wedding
rings. “Well, we're married, and I trust him.”
“Who are you trying to
convince? Me or yourself? I think...”
“What really bothered me was
that we had plans for dinner tonight. And when I reminded him this morning, he
said he had a study group meeting tonight.”
“What?” Melanie says. “Did
he just pull a study group out of his pocket? Since when does he have a ‘study
group’?”
“That's what I said. Sort
of. I asked what the study group was for.”
“And?”
“He said it was for some big
legal case study for one of his classes,” Vanessa says.
“Did he mention this case
before?”
“No! I know you don't really
care for Peter, but I need some advice. I'm starting to get suspicious. I mean,
I do trust him. But something isn't adding up.”
“All right,” Melanie says.
“I have a suggestion. Please just listen to it. I think that you should follow
him tonight. See...”
Vanessa yells. “Whaaat! Are
you serious? I need real advice, not advice on how to spy on my husband.”
Several restaurant patrons
turn around to look at them.
Melanie whispers under her
breath. “If he’s cheating, then?”
“He’s not cheating,” Vanessa
whispers back.
“Then what are you
suspicious of?”
“I don’t know.”
“Girl, if you want the truth
you have to find it out firsthand.”
“What do you mean?” She
stops for a moment. “You know what, this is absurd,” Vanessa says.
“Peter is not going to tell
you the real deal. If he's at a study group, fine. But if he's not, you need to
know.”
“I feel so wrong. How dare I
follow my husband?”
“I hope we are wrong. I’ll
tell you this: You better start wondering how he dare hold a phone conversation
in the middle of the night, in your apartment, running up your cell phone
bill.”
“I don’t know.”
The waiter comes over.
“You don’t share the bills,
Vanessa.”
“How is everything, ladies?”
“Fine. Can we get the check,
please?” Melanie asks.
“Yes,” the waiter responds.
