Mother and daughter left it hanging, each showing signs of amusement.

He gave in. "Well?"

"They aren't married!" His fiancée said gleefully.

He was stunned. He looked out the window at the two. He saw no rings.

"That's right," his fiancée said. "If you ask them, they are: Partners for life. Friends with benefits. Soulmates without documentation. Common law lawless spouses. Relentless roommates. Or some other ridiculous definition they will make up."

Her mother added a slice of lemon to each glass. "They were married once. It didn't work out. Now they just live together."

His fiancée noted his stunned expression. "I'll tell you the whole story later. Since you are almost family. And to initiate you, I will let you ask them the question so they have the pleasure of bullshitting you. It gives the old geezers a charge."

"Spoiler." Her mother said. "They will eventually tell you that the secret to a long whatever it is that they have is healthy mistrust and a dollop of fear."

He frowned. "That doesn't sound like--"

"Right?" his fiancée beamed. "It's not a Disney movie. It's a real story." She tilted her head in the general direction of the back porch. "Their story."

He stared back out at the rocking pair. "They seem so happy."

"They are," her mother said. She tossed a spoon in the sink and as it clattered on the porcelain turned to her daughter and her future son-in-law. "And if I and my husband are that happy when we retire, and if you two are that happy when you reach that age...." She shrugged. "Then it will have been a good life."

His fiancée looked up at him with love, then out the window at her grans. She squeezed his hand very hard.

The reconciliation is incredibly stupid. Move on - the selfish excuse for a wife isn't worth any of that. And she deserves both the hate and the indifference completely. No repentance, just regret she got caught, and would never give up her self-centered cheating or the scumbag. No apology.

The only thing of value - the "healthy mistrust and the dollop of fear." Some wisdom there, brilliant usage, but still no reason for any sort of reconciliation. Or change the category to 'fantasy'...

“She had admitted in one of the therapy sessions they thought might save them that her attraction to the kid was irrational, fiery, magical, addictive. Sexual on a primal, inexplicable level she had never felt before.

She had not been able to keep the longing from showing on her face when she said that, and it punished him so deeply he had thought his body might shut down right there.”

These paragraphs crushed my heart. To make the effort to work past the infidelity and make a recovery only to learn that she is completely obsessed—to the point that she loses everything because she’s such an irredeemable slut.

I loved it.

Not sure I could believe it, but it's a story isn't it.

So, it's OK for me to love it.

Sentimental old guy that I am.
