His words kept running through her head. Was she really actually considering this? It had been a week since their passion-filled meeting in the car park, but she could still hear him uttering those words as if he was right there in the room with her.
James gave a snort in his sleep and rolled over onto his side. She still loved James, but he had grown distant and cold. Their lovemaking sessions felt more like a chore than anything else. Maybe he was seeing someone else. And, if that was the case, could she even hold it against him? Wasn't she doing exactly the same thing?

She sat on the couch, lost in thought, the breeze through the open window cool on her naked skin. Who was her mystery lover? And more importantly, was she willing to give up her marriage for him? Sure, she was unhappy and James wasn't making life easy for her, but she had promised to love him till death do them part. Was she actually considering breaking that promise?
