It was a Sunday afternoon and a perfect day to go shopping at the mall; a very pregnant Megan walked beside her husband who was pushing Lindsey in the stroller. They were all smiles, talking and laughing while on their way to buy baby clothes for their new arrival; they hadn't even noticed Cora as they passed the food court; but she saw them. She watched as the proud parents walked on by; they were so happy together.
She remembered the conversations they'd had about having children when they were still married; at the time they made her so happy sometimes she thought her heart would burst; now they were just sad remnants of her childish stupidity.
Cora reached up and pulled the tears from her eyes but there were more right behind them. "Oh God how could I have been so blind," she mumbled to herself. They were now several stores down and she could only see their backs as she wondered if she would ever be that happy, would she ever find anyone who she could love like she did Steve; would life give her another chance; did she even deserve a second chance?
More tears rolled down her cheeks and she let out an inadvertent sob as she pulled a tissue from her purse. There was one thing she was sure of; if she ever did find another man; a man she could love and who would love her, she wouldn't blow it again. She would be the best, most loving wife and mother a man ever had, but what were the chances?
The End.

Well, if Cora doesn't turn into a flaming idiot again, honestly they're pretty good. Although she'll have to get off her butt and work at it. Otherwise, then she'll lose out.
Alright_alright_alright4 months agoIt felt like he was just setting with the Oriental chic, should have gotten back with ex-wife. She sounded hotter.
Morbidromantic4 months agoI loved it. Contrary to many readers, I didn't mind the MC seeming wimp. I prefer a "wimp" who doesn't forgive the cheater and moves on to a consenting cuckold or to one who ends up reconciling the cheater. 5* from me.
Anonymous6 months agoJust couldn't get with this one. I feel it would have worked far better, and would have been clearer for those on the shortbus, if Cora had been the one to come clean and ditch Steve for Mark on the grounds of star chart compatibility.
Tbf like staunch religious people, astrologists are a little crazy. It infects their everyday life, the further down the rabbit hole the more the believers are ruled by it. This kind of crazy just doesn't go unnoticed and has a profound effect on the people and relationships around them.

Karen has a SON, and she complains about Steve's "baggage." As Bugs Bunny would say, "What a maroon!"
