The Shark Club

by Ann Kidd Taylor

But at some point, if it was still just me and the sharks (thank God for the sharks), perhaps I would put the whole family thing to rest. I could be Aunt Maeve to any children my twin brother, Robin, might one day have, and I would marry the sea. A lot of people, including Robin, would say I already had.

Cheating is so mundane until it happens to you. Then it’s the first time such deceit has ever happened.

Why does there always have to be a ‘but’? Why can’t you just say, hey, that’s great, Robin, go for it. You don’t know what it’s like to do something every day you don’t want to do. It’s soul sucking. We can’t all jet around the world with our jobs, Maeve. Some of us are stuck here.”
