Parting

Total shock is painted on my face.

Elena!

What is she doing here, how did she get in?!

I help Loraine get off me, put her on her feet and stand in front of her. “Elena, are you here to catch me in the act? What is that for?” I ask her emotionlessly. Elena has been by my side for a long time, we were engaged long before we got married, so she knows I hate drama. And besides that, Loraine has nothing to do with my behavior, she and I are married so a confrontation with Loraine is unnecessary.
