The woman sitting at the bar was all alone, and if anyone had been watching her closely, they would have seen that she was not a happy person. At forty two years old, Katie felt like she had lost everything, and she just wanted to have a few drinks by herself and wallow in self pity.
She had been sitting for nearly ten minutes on the comfortable bar stool, nursing her drink, when a person sidled up to the bar and sat down two seats from her to her right and ordered a light beer. It was a feminine voice, so Katie glanced over and saw that it was a young woman who looked barely old enough to drink. The girl looked at Katie and their eyes met briefly.
Katie looked back down at her drink as the bartender, a handsome man who seemed way too flamboyant to be straight, carried the drink to the young woman and then headed back to the other end of the bar.
"Are you meeting someone?" Katie heard the voice of the young lady to her right asking and she glanced over again before realizing that the woman was speaking to her.
"Ah no, no I'm here by myself." She replied, not really feeling much like getting into a conversation right now.
"Yeah me too. I'm not usually the type of person who just pops into a bar for a drink in the middle of the day, especially by myself, but I just really wanted a beer. Tough morning." She grimaced.
Katie nodded and looked back at her drink. She really didn't know why she was here either. It wasn't because she wanted a drink, she really didn't like the taste of alcohol much. She supposed that it was because the bar was the place that all depressed people went to when they felt really bad, and she felt really bad right now.
"So ah, what about you?" The woman asked, "Do you often come here during the day for a drink all by yourself?"
Katie shot the woman an appalled look, thinking that she has a lot of nerve to ask such a question, but before she had the chance to be very angry, the woman said "I'm sorry, that was out of line. Don't answer that question. I'm not very good at conversations with people I just met at the bar." She sipped her beer and mumbled something under her breath.
Even though Katie was not in the mood to chat with a stranger, she could see that the woman felt genuinely bad, and she thought that it was better to talk with another woman then to sit by herself and wait for some man to try to pick her up. Since showing up, she had already been hit on once by a much older man.
Turning to look at the woman, Katie said "This is the first time I've ever been in this place." and she chuckled.
"Seriously?" The young woman looked on with genuine surprise, and Katie thought that she looked very pretty. She momentarily wondered why such a pretty, young, vibrant woman wanted to talk to a much older woman. This girl was about the same age as her own daughter.
"Yes, I'm serious. I'm not real big on bars either to be honest." Katie replied, shaking her head. "And I really don't love alcohol either." She held her drink up in her hand and swirled it around.
"Then why are you here?!?"
Katie sighed and her shoulders slumped. For a moment she seemed lost in thought, then she turned back and said "I don't know. I guess it's because the bar is the place that people go to when they find out their spouse is cheating on them." Her lips pursed and she blinked back tears that threatened to spill over her eyelids.
The pretty young lady, showing concern, slid over to the seat next to Katie and said "Oh shit, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to pry."
"It's alright. It kinda feels better to talk about it you know. I haven't talked to anybody, so it's still pretty raw right now." It was strange talking about this with a stranger, but it felt right.
"Well look, if you want to be left alone, I understand, but if you want to talk to someone, I'm a good listener. You don't know me so you can tell me anything, and it might be cathartic to get it all out too. I've got nowhere to be, so...it's up to you." She looked on with raised eyebrows.
After some internal debate, Katie decided that she could trust this young woman and the two moved to a booth to talk. The girl introduced herself as Anne and from there Katie talked about her husband Derek and their twenty one year marriage. She told about finding the incriminating text on his phone and confronting him. She told about how he denied it all at first, but then finally broke down and told her everything.
"So it turns out that he's been fucking this twenty one year old bimbo for like six months now. Some bitch named Beth, and she knows that he's married too. I was so pissed that I kicked him out. I told him to expect divorce papers to be coming soon."
Anne had sat in silence the whole time, listening intently, and now she finally asked "Have you filed for divorce yet?"
"No. I don't even know if I'm going to. On one hand, I'm so angry with him, I could kill him, but I still love him too, and it seems like such a waste of twenty years."
