Part 6
I thought of her too. He would make small comments about their relationship... he would say things like - how hard is doing a load of washing. Immediately my mind went to her defence... why don't you do a load of washing?
This gave me an idea of the dynamics of their inner workings... he made the money, she kept the home. How very western.
I wondered how long she'd felt alone for... not being able to keep house can be a sign of exhaustion. she was tired too... They were literally draining each other.
I wondered what kind of woman she was... I'm alot. It's the one thing everyone says - you're too much Ree. I wondered if she was the quiet type... calm, intentional and rational. She was into plants and made broth.. I liked her immediately. I tried to humanise her, make her real in my mind. I asked him how they got together, if they decided on this life together. He said they did... they both chose this. To settle into house, pop out a couple of kids and play happy family...
I asked him to show me her... With every day that passed we grew closer - I had to stop. Putting a face to her name surely would help my mind recognise right from wrong...
He sent one through, they were at a restaurant. She was beautiful. Classic beautiful like Audrey - long brown hair and a cute face. She was girl next door, adored by all and had a large network ... they were little local celebrities as far as small towns go. What have I gotten myself into...
It got to a point that I knew something was about to give... and give it did.
Only a fool would miss the signs of foul play. He was spending more time smiling at his phone, he had pep in his step and a chirpy attitude... she suspected something.
She was right.
