EXCERPT:
Vanessa is sitting in
a restaurant with Melanie, a woman in her early twenties with curly, dark hair.
“So
anyway,” Melanie says. She is wearing chic business attire and diamond-studded
hoop earrings. “He stopped by my cubicle this morning and asked me if I wanted
to go with him to a party on Thursday. I told him, calmly, that I have to check
my schedule.”
“Oh
yeah,” Vanessa says. “That was a good response.”
“So
what’s going on in married land?”
“Nothing
much.”
“Are
you sure? You’re kind of quiet,” Melanie says.
“Well,
something strange happened last night,” Vanessa says.
“Like
what?”
“When
I was putting away the clothes, I saw a note on Peter's tablet. There was a
woman's name and phone number on it. And today's date was in tiny print in the
corner.”
“Did
you ask him about it?” Melanie asks.
“No,
I mean, I figured it could belong to a classmate or something.”
“Girl,
you should’ve asked about it,” Melanie says.
“Then
I woke up in the middle of the night and he was gone. And so was his cell
phone.”
“And
you didn't ask him about that either?”
Vanessa
clasps her wedding rings. “Well, we're married, and I trust him.”
“Who
are you trying to convince? Me or yourself? I think...”
“What
really bothered me was that we had plans for dinner tonight. And when I
reminded him this morning, he said he had a study group meeting tonight.”
“What?”
Melanie says. “Did he just pull a study group out of his pocket? Since when
does he have a ‘study group’?”
“That's
what I said. Sort of. I asked what the study group was for.”
“And?”
“He
said it was for some big legal case study for one of his classes,” Vanessa
says.
“Did
he mention this case before?”
“No!
I know you don't really care for Peter, but I need some advice. I'm starting to
get suspicious. I mean, I do trust him. But something isn't adding up.”
“All
right,” Melanie says. “I have a suggestion. Please just listen to it. I think
that you should follow him tonight. See...”
Vanessa
yells. “Whaaat! Are you serious? I need real advice, not advice on how to spy
on my husband.”
Several
restaurant patrons turn around to look at them.
Melanie
whispers under her breath. “If he’s cheating, then?”
“He’s
not cheating,” Vanessa whispers back.
“Then
what are you suspicious of?”
“I
don’t know.”
“Girl,
if you want the truth you have to find it out firsthand.”
“What
do you mean?” She stops for a moment. “You know what, this is absurd,” Vanessa
says.
“Peter
is not going to tell you the real deal. If he's at a study group, fine. But if
he's not, you need to know.”
“I
feel so wrong. How dare I follow my husband?”
“I
hope we are wrong. I’ll tell you this: You better start wondering how he dare
hold a phone conversation in the middle of the night, in your apartment,
running up your cell phone bill.”
“I
don’t know.”
The
waiter comes over.
“You
don’t share the bills, Vanessa.”
“How
is everything, ladies?”
“Fine.
Can we get the check, please?” Melanie asks.
“Yes,”
the waiter responds.
