Why would Kelly give a shit if her husband and best friend are cheating if she's divorcing her husband and running off with her boss?
@anon: Kelly gives a shit because she could most likely have taken Todd back from Carol back then but decided to step aside and be happy for them instead. It's called being a good friend, even when it might hurt you. Now she learned that she endured being without the man she loved for nothing, that she stepped aside for nothing. That's why she cared.
I love this story. Tight/concise and the good guys win. Always a bonus. Anyway, why would the cheater take the time to confront Kelly over a guy she crapped all over?
Nicely done. Pays to be true to your spouse and friends or you may get bitten in the ass.
The deficiency of this story is that it was told from tne POV of Carol…..and for the first half readers were informed of Carol’s thoughts….and those thoughts were COMPLETELY devoid of any suspicion that Carol had a big secret, tne nature of which would completely prevent Carol from asking Kelly why she was screwing Todd.

Powerful little story. To see someone you love be betrayed is often worse than being betrayed. If you are betrayed, you can do something about it. When it happens to someone else, all you can do is make soft noises and be ready to clean up when it all comes apart.
