Abby and I stayed until the last guest left. Our honeymoon was something completely out of the norm for us. Instead of spending the week hiking through a forest or in the desert, we actually booked a full week on the beach in the Virgin Islands. Of course, Abby got up every morning to run a few miles on the beach before swimming a couple more miles in the ocean. But, every morning, after getting back to our cabin and showering off, she'd drag me back to bed to re-consummate our wedding vows.
Epilogue
The translation of the Stalin papers earned me the reputation as the 'go-to' English translator of Russian literature. As such, I was able to earn a good living, enough to support my growing family and work from home. I had to travel occasionally to meet with authors or publishers; but it wasn't more than three or four weeks a year.
Abby's mom died of cancer a year after our first son, George Adam or G.A., was born; she went fast, too fast for Abby; but at least she lived to meet her grandson and didn't suffer long from the cancer. It seemed Mom Ross was the glue that held the family together because within the next year Abby's brother and sister-in-law moved to Tucson to be closer to her family. Abby's father said he'd had enough of the cold and moved to the Mexican Baja near Ensenada. Suddenly, there was no reason for our family to stay in Oregon.
It was Abby who brought it up. "I think it'd be nice to live closer to your folks and Gina. They could spend more time with G.A."
We sold our house in Klamath Falls and moved to Naples. Nine months later, Gina Abby was born. Mom and Dad couldn't be happier.
Me either.

Anonymous4 months agoCould have been a great story, but the so-called wife walks away with everything. Probably realistic. But somehow as an author you have a responsibility to take a stand over right and wrong in the world. Sorry folks it is black and white out there, even if you don't like to think of it that way. And letting the ex go without any accountability it's enabling and encouraging the female dogs to run around loose out there and think there won't be any consequences. There are always consequences. And no, a little financial distress or a shot in the video somewhere online is not adequate. Take a stand in your writing against the Thugs and predators out there, but also the selfish, narcissistic women who destroy lives and marriages.
Anonymous6 months agoGood story. Well written. Would like ti see a little more dialog with Abby and the MC in getting psst the Paris misunderstanding. Jenny wasn't evil. She made a horrible choice and was seduced into thr swinging life by some evil people. She was vulnerable due to a number of factors including being home alone a lot. Note how she resisted less the second time. That being said he showed restraint and ran. Not a huge fan of that personally. Doubt the alimony in a divorce would have crippled him. But he took the attorney's advice and she finally filed for abandonment. She obviously went through some catharsis and realized the fault was her own despite being upset at not hearing from him. She clearly was honest when she wanted him back. But he was a man of principle. Besides if they had hashed it out after the 2nd party, the neighbors would have interfered making any reconciliation that much harder though good luck anyways with her being the star centerpiece of a two swingers orgies. If NY some miracle they reconciled (just a what if since the MC took his vows seriously, while she did not), there is no way that marriage doesn't get crushed later under distrust. He had to travel a lot for several years. She wanted children but no way to bring infants into that messed up marriage trying to heal. Worse, she might lose respect for him if he reconciled and who only knows what would happen down the line. Instead I think the abandonment made her grow up as well as seeing his mercy in not trying to destroy her.
