Into the Abyss--Chapter 8

... to her. When Lucy saw me approach their booth she pulled her hands away from Megan suddenly, as if she were caught doing something improper. "Hi Frank," Lucy said as I stood before them. "Did you change your mind, sweetie? Are you going to join us for dinner now?" Megan didn't bother to speak. She looked at me with a look of indifference. I had interrupted their quiet time together and she seemed pretty pissed about it. I didn't know any other way to break it to them, so I just blurted it out. "Susan has filed for divorce. The grounds are adultery and she has named both of you as co-respondents. That means that your names will be made public and they can subpoena both of you to testify at the hearing." Lucy had a look of sheer terror on her face and her eyes began to well up with tears. Megan was silent, but her expression seemed indifferent. "Look, the last thing I want to do is drag your names through the mud. The only way to prevent that is to make sure that you don't have to testify, and right now the only way I can make sure that you don't is not to contest the divorce. My other fear is that Susan knows this, and she will make some unreasonable demands knowing that she has the upper hand. If she tries to take advantage of me I don't know what I will do.

I wished that I could say something to her that would make things better, but there wasn't anything I could say. I reached out and took her hand. "Look babe, I wish I didn't have to come here and spoil your dinner with Megan, but you needed to know what is going on. I promise I'll try to keep you both out of this, but I have to check in with my people back in Raleigh. Just hang in there, will you?" Lucy couldn't speak, but nodded her head. It broke my heart to see her like this. "Don't worry, Frank," Megan said to me. "I'll see to it that she gets through this. You go take care of business and we'll keep in touch." There wasn't any more I could say at that time, so I just turned around and walked away. Before I left the restaurant I looked back. Megan had Lucy in her arms and was whispering to her as Lucy cried. That should be my job, I thought. Could I lose everything when all is said and done? When I returned to my place there was no traces that Susan had even been there. She obviously took my words to heart and got out of there. She left no note or anything, so I couldn't be sure if she was still in the area or if she went back ...
