Kate's Concern

"How could he do this?" I retorted.

"You think that way too, right?" Kate sighed and said, "I've been with him for so long and had times that I thought were sweet, but he said he had a connection with someone he just met. I really couldn't accept this. So I asked him to delete the girl's contact information and never contact her again."

I understood what Kate was doing. No girl could accept her lover having such a special relationship with another woman.

"But Alfred insisted that they were just friends. He thought I was making a big deal out of it and didn't trust him. We had a big fight. I said I would give him a week, or we should break up."

Kate curled up on the sofa with her hands on her knees. She looked a little pitiful.

I reached out to pat her back. I knew that words were useless at times like this. All Kate needed was someone to listen to her and accompany her.
