afternoon and in her mind things were back the way they were. To Ken, the relationship was over and the sex was a way of saying goodbye.
    Ken and his wife left for their vacation the next day. During their flight, he couldn’t help but think about Susan and what had taken place the night before. He had never seen her act that irrational before. He never expected that his affair with her would end this way. In fact, he never thought about how it would end. He knew he would never leave Monica for her even though he gave her the impression he would.
    He was relieved it was over. He could tell she had gotten too attached and it was a matter of time until she snapped. Her telling Jake of their affair was the push he needed to end it.
    Ken decided that he was going to use this vacation with Monica to make up for all the times he came home late because he was with Susan. Although she had no idea he was seeing someone else, she knew something was different about him and their relationship and she often asked him what was wrong.
    He felt guilty for lying to her and decided to use their vacation to make up for it. They spent every day taking care of each other. They laughed, played, talked, and did everything a married couple should do to show how much they love each other.
    He began to appreciate his wife and his life with her even more and soon came to the realization that his relationship with Susan was the worst thing he could have done.
    He was so glad it was over. He was even happier that Monica never found out.

     
    When they returned from their vacation, Ken and Monica’s relationship had gotten better. For the first time in months, Monica felt close to her husband. She had felt him drifting away from her and wasn’t sure what to do.
    She tried talking to him about it but he would only tell her that work was getting stressful. She knew it was something more but she did not know what.
    Even though his behavior and attitude changed towards her she continued to be a good wife and mother. She never started any arguments or fights with him.
    She continued to take care of him. She prepared his meals and took care of the house. More importantly, she never denied him sexually out of anger or retaliation for his change in behavior. Monica kept the promises she made to love him for better and for worse.
    It was because of her loving spirit and ability to maintain her ladylike demeanor that Ken realized he did not want to lose her. He now realized how lucky he was and how hard it is to find a woman like Monica. If only I had appreciated her sooner , he thought.
    While Monica picked up Marci, Ken decided to go to the office to check on a few accounts. Since it was Sunday, no one was there. After reviewing his files, he looked through the messages his secretary had taken for him. He was pleasantly surprised that he had not received any calls from Susan. He saw this as a clear indication that she believed him when he said it was over.
    He soon realized that he had not checked his messages on his cellular phone. He had four messages. He wondered if they were all from Susan.
    To his surprise, only one message was from her and she seemed very calm. “Hello baby. I now realize that you need time to leave your wife. I want you to know that I’m willing to wait.
    “I apologize for rushing you. After we made love last week, I realized even more that we are meant to be together. I love you and will talk to you soon,” her message said.
    Ken could not believe it. He was hoping that after their discussion she wouldn’t call him anymore. He really thought it was over. He decided to ignore her message.
    Two weeks passed and no calls from Susan. Ken went home on time every evening to spend quality time with his family.
    He was starting to feel like his old self again. Monica and Marci were happy he was home more. Things were falling back in place.
    Just when he thought he had gotten away with his torrid affair, Susan showed up at his office one
