Linda's Legacy

... correct, that's exactly what I meant to do. Anyway. It was a disaster, and then he stormed off to Atlanta for ten days. I didn't know where he'd gone until later. That was when he started taking all those temporary work assignments out of town.

"I'd chased him away from the marriage. He was so, so very angry with me. And he was right to feel that way. I'd treated him like absolute shit. Marc had come over to our table and took me away for a dance. He didn't even ask. He danced with me for several numbers and told me to sneak out the back with him. I crept back to our table to collect my purse, and I had to face Jim, who'd been forced to watch the whole thing. I could barely look him in the eye. Dee covered for me, making some excuse and keeping Jim busy so I could get away. That was the last moment I was married to your father. The estrangement and divorce took another year and a half, but that's when it really ended."

"I'm sorry. That sounds awful."

"It was beyond awful. But it wasn't the worst part."

"God. What was worse?"

"WHY it happened. I would have eventually ruined my marriage whether Marc the Asshole had chosen me that night or not. Remember, I did pretty much the same thing three more times, three different ways, to three more husbands. And I never let myself see why. I was too self-absorbed and entitled. Just like you are, right now."

We had our children, and our happy home. There was too much at stake for anything to disrupt that. Jim was a good man, a good husband, and the strongest spirit I'd ever known. There was surely nothing he wouldn't forgive me for. He'd conquer every fear, every silly male insecurity, he'd overcome his own ego, just to love me and keep me and make sure I was happy."

"Mom..."

"Please. I know this is hard to hear, that's the point. I had an Opportunity. A Once-In-A-Lifetime Event. I was CHOSEN. Marc Lavillere, a God among men, was going to turn me into a glamorous, free, sexy, uninhibited goddess. I'd always have that one magical perfect night and the best sex of my life, the best sex any woman would ever want, and then I'd get to go back home to my loving husband afterwards. Sure, Jim's feelings would be hurt for a while, but he didn't own me. I could do as I wanted Just This Once. He'd get over it eventually, and I'd spend the rest of my life Making It Up To Him."
