"Wait! Sybil..." James scrambled to wipe himself up and catch up to his wife. He could hardly believe that what he saw last night was his wife with another woman! His entire front was soaked with coffee, he was an absolute mess, but he was determined to talk to her, what he was going to say, he had no idea...
Sybil whipped around at the familiar voice and went pale as soon as she saw who it was. She had no idea where her husband had moved to, and really didn't care to know. Her son was hers from a previous relationship, and she had her dog, so there was no reason for her to know. "James! What the hell?? What, what are you doing here?"
"What am I doing here? What are you doing here with...?" James had to stop himself before he said too much. Sybil would come off her hinges if she knew he was watching last night. Sybil was hurt and upset due to their impending divorce and James new he would be in for it if she found out. "Here with... finish your sentence James. I am able to be where I want to be without your approval. That is the beauty of divorce you know. I no longer answer to you!" Sybil snarled at him and give him one of her looks. James knows that look all too well. It was the look she gave him when he was crossing a line from which there was not return. He quickly looked down at his coffee soaked clothes and tried to hide his face. The last thing he wanted was for Sybil to really lay into him.
"Oh, I was just surprised to see you is all. I wasn't expecting to see you come out of an apartment right across from mine at ten in the morning. With your shoes in your hand and no purse... Where is your car?" James was trying to be coy and say as little as possible, hoping to get some info out of her, let her open the door and try to explain what she was going here last night. "Oh shit, my purse! I hope it's here and not at..." She paused for a moment. Trying to catch herself before she really put her foot in her mouth. This was one of the reasons her and James didn't work out, their sex life had plummeted and lost a lot of its spark, spontaneity, lust, the list could go on and on. There was no way she wanted him to know what she was going last night, let alone who she was doing it with.
