With a whimper and not a bang. Goodbye Mary, it's been nice. It's not always guns and roses. Sometimes, it's just goodbye stranger, hope you find your paradise.
This story isn't over until Frank makes Tim regret that he messed with another man's wife. Tim knew Mary was still married to Frank. Frank needs the satisfaction of bringing a baseball bat to Tim's and playing a game of Bumper Ball with him!
Wow, a woman who can admit her faults and let the guy move on without any issues...
The original story is full of emotions and drama. This version is mild and reasonable. After the emotional high of the original story, this version left me disappointed.
Consequences for those who arranged the "joke" were not mentioned, so one must conclude there were none. That is ridiculous and a major failing by an author trying to fashion an improved conclusion to this sad story. Before fdkman262 decided to submit this piece of work, he should have put more time and effort into his "revisiting."
so why was he still not filing for divorce six months later? why did he wait for HER to say go for a divorce?
In other stories, I've seen the cheating partner always try to make it up to the cheated one to continue the relationship when they get caught but in this story, the character Mary seems to be an exception.
My 1st thought reading the beginning of the 1st page was that cheaters are paranoid so they think everyone is cheating too
