George’s key turned in the lock at 9:47 PM. Sarah had been sitting on the couch for an hour, her hands folded in her lap, her eyes fixed on the door. The house was silent except for the hum of the refrigerator and the ticking of the clock above the mantle.
The door swung open. George stepped in, his tie loosened, his shirt wrinkled, dark circles under his eyes. He stopped when he saw her.
“Hey,” he said. “You’re still up.”
Sarah’s throat tightened. “We need to talk.”
A long pause. He closed the door behind him, the click unnaturally loud. His hand lingered on the knob for a moment before he turned and walked to the armchair across from the couch. He didn’t sit.
“I know,” he said.
The words landed like stones in her chest. He knows. Her mind raced through a dozen possibilities—the bookstore, the bruises, the smell of sex still clinging to her clothes. But he couldn’t. He’d been at the office. He’d been...
“Sarah, I’m sorry.”
She blinked. The apology hung in the air between them, unexpected. Her mouth opened, but nothing came out.
George sat down heavily in the armchair, elbows on his knees, hands clasped. He stared at the floor. “Sorry for being so absent the last while. I know I’ve been ... I’ve been a ghost. Putting in crazy hours at work, trying to get this big promotion.”
He looked up, his brown eyes tired and earnest. “Then with Mike leaving for Australia, I wanted to spend time with him. And I’ve been ignoring you. I’m sorry.”
Sarah’s lungs felt hollow. She had rehearsed this conversation a dozen times on the drive home from Jessica’s. She’d prepared herself for accusations, for tears, for the ugly truth spilling out between them like blood from a wound. But this; this quiet apology, this admission of guilt for sins so much smaller than her own—she hadn’t prepared for this.
“It’s okay,” she heard herself say. The words tasted like ash.
“It’s not okay.” George shook his head. “I should have been here. I should have been present. I got so caught up in the future that I forgot to live in the now. With you.”
Her vision blurred. She blinked, and a tear slid down her cheek. She wiped it away with the back of her hand, but more followed.
George continued, his voice softer now. “I’ll know in a couple weeks if I got the promotion or not. And then all these extra hours will be behind me. I’ll be able to spend more time with you.” He paused, a tentative smile flickering across his face.
“Actually, I think we should go away on a vacation. Maybe somewhere south. Just relax, spend time together, be pampered.”
The tears came faster now. She couldn’t stop them. They streamed down her cheeks, dripped off her chin, spotted the fabric of her sweatpants. She thought about the booth. The men. The cocks in her mouth, her cunt, her ass. The cum drying on her thighs. The kindness of the silver-haired stranger who’d called her beautiful.
This is what I threw away.
George misread her tears. He stood, crossed the space between them, and sat beside her on the couch. His arms wrapped around her, pulling her against his chest. His shirt smelled like coffee and office air.
“It’s okay,” he murmured into her hair. “I’m here now. We’re going to be okay.”
