My Affair — Painful Yet Sweet
Cheating: I used to dream about marrying you when I grew up
I knew I would miss her fiercely until I could see her again. But this time it felt painful yet sweet.
Now I knew Ginny was game for some time away, I just had to work out how and where to go. I didn’t have to wait long.
I often turned down invitations to tennis workshops, claiming it wasn’t worth it without pay. But when a few weeks after my chat with Ginny, the club offered me the chance to accompany some of my pupils, I saw it as a serendipitous opportunity for an intoxicating weekend getaway with Ginny, to feed the infatuation that was gnawing at me.
But first I had to float the idea with my wife. I mentioned it casually over breakfast.
“I’m thinking of going to the workshop on Friday. Some of my pupils are very promising,” I said, trying to sound nonchalant.
Mary looked up from her pancake, a hint of suspicion in her eyes. “Really. Why the sudden interest?”
“It’s not for the entire week, only a couple of days. It’ll be good for them and me,” I shrugged, avoiding her gaze.
