“Do you know for sure he’s cheating?”
:
“I caught him with a girl he used to date. The dummy left his tablet on the bed, opened to a picture of a woman holding a Thanksgiving turkey with her chest out."
:
“Yeah, he’s cheating.”
:
“I confronted him and he admitted it. My oldest son was so funny. He said, ‘Dad you know the rules. I never met an adulterer before.’ He’s so straightforward. We’re Catholic. But don’t go to church. I’ve been thinking about it though.”
:
“It may be time to re-explore your faith.”
:
“I like that. We usually say religion, but I like the word faith.”
:
In the following weeks Carnival joined Lana at across town events, bringing along her kids, leaving her husband alone. She felt renewed, less caught in her feelings among new friends who enjoyed listening. One evening Dave confronted her.
:
“Why are you acting like this?”
:
“I finally realize I’m not lame Dave. You are!" turning from him.
:
“I’m sorry. I know I’ve been a jerk. But the kids are gone all weekend. There’s no weed left in the drawer. Who is this person messing with your head? You got a boyfriend now?”
:
“You’re not sorry Dave. Your pride is hurt. Lana is my driver, friend. She picks me up for work, takes the kids to school sometimes. I don’t need a man if he’s not a man."
:
After that day, Dave took notice of the changes in his wife and kids. He searched Carnival’s phone while asleep and got information on Lana and her contacts. He recognized Cam’el’s name from the news. He determined they were trouble, thus deserving of trouble.
