    ... What the driver would give to have even one chance of seeing her only love again. Just to know he was alive and healthy. She almost missed the exit as the road got a little blurry. The driver fought back tears for the thousandth time in nearly two years. At the light, the driver pulled out a tissue, drying her eyes. It was still a good 15 minutes to this cheater's home. Was it really a home? Or just a house?
    
    The passenger's phone came out again. "Hi Dee.... Yeah, it's a little early but I see you're awake too.... Really? Why would Dave be mad at you?... He said that?! ... So how was Jim when you explained?... Really?... What? ... You know I couldn't talk to him before I left, I might have lost my nerve and I couldn't pass up the chance ... No!... He can't mean that. ... No, he knows I love only him and will for the rest of my life. ... And then he left? Did he go back to the hotel? ... My phone was off but I see some missed calls and one message. He sounded down, but I expected that. I'll make it up to him.
    
    "At least he won't have to worry about competing. Now I really know just how good a man he is.... No, I was surprised it wasn't better. ... Well yeah, a different man was exciting and a little scary. ... It was like that moment at the start of a roller coaster where it's just going over the top and it looks like you're headed straight down.... Yeah. Exactly.... Yes, he's hard as a rock... Heee heee, no, I don't mean that, I mean, yes that was hard but his whole body ...
    ... was like stone wrapped in soft leather.... Well actually, once the roller coaster went over the second peak, honestly it wasn't that great.
    
    "He didn't know me.... Hee hee, you're bad. Yeah, in that sense he did but what I mean is he had some tricks he expected to work, and they did, sort of.... No, no, it felt like when I watch Jim working on the lawn mower. ... No, Jim picks out a tool, uses it, sets it aside and uses another. It's not like he cares about the lawnmower. If anything he cares more about the tools.... No, not at all. By the second time I felt like a piece of equipment, not a woman. Fortunately he thought twice in one night was enough.... Yeah, I thought he'd have more stamina too. He wanted to go again this morning but I just wanted to get home to my loving husband and forget about this. Once I turned him down he couldn't get me out of his place quick enough. He's really kind of a jerk.... "
    
    "No, like I said, a big scary thrill at the start, but it definitely wasn't worth hurting Jim. If you get the chance, don't.... The only thing he had to offer was newness and muscles. Maybe I'll encourage Jim to hit the gym--hee hee. Rhyming at this time of day, and I haven't even had coffee yet! ... So you didn't see Jim at breakfast, did you go by our room?... Huh. I don't know what I'll have to do to make it up to him but whatever it is I'll do it.... No, I didn't learn any new tricks. Like I said I felt like a lawnmower and you don't teach lawnmowers you just use ...
