... she played outside the rules." I gave her a small smile then she did something strange. Weird. She put an arm up around my neck, looked me in the eyes and said. "David, I'm here for you. You've done nothing wrong. Just give me a call anytime." Then she pulled me down to her and kissed me on the lips, just like she did when she came round just after New Year. Was I missing something, sometimes I can be a bit slow, especially when it comes to women, I think my experiences with Ellie prove that. The rest of the day was spent tidying up the house, phoning the children and telling them what happened. But Elliott, our eldest, got in first and phoned me. All of a sudden it was my fault. Until I pointed out that the company had done an investigation and confirmed from several sources, that their mother had sex with another man, a subordinate. It appears that wasn't the story that Ellie told the children. I drank too much Saturday evening but nothing Sunday. I pulled myself up by my bootstraps. I had work to do, customers were relying on me. I saw the divorce solicitor Tuesday morning. It would be a hard push but he thinks I can keep the house, but there may be a substantial payoff from our savings. I would burn the house down before I gave it to her. I had a phone call from Ellie's Dad. He was asking what happened. His body may be frail, but his brain wasn't. Ellie had again told the same story to her parents that she had told the children.

And from the smell she had Chinese food with her. She gently pushed me back inside. She said. "I've bought dinner. This weekend will be hard on you. So I will be here for you." I let her in. She told me to go sit on the sofa, she bustled around the kitchen and came back with two plates of Chinese food on trays. "What are we watching on telly tonight, is there a film?" She asked. My head was all of a spin. What the bloody hell was happening. I found a Johnny English film. We finished dinner, I put the plates away and got her a glass of wine. She said just the one that she was driving. Then the fog was clearing. But I had to confirm it. I turned and looked at her. "Julie, be honest with me, what the hell is this all about?"
