“I just think that no good can come from me leaving her. We’d both just be alone then, but this way, if we move, it can be a fresh start for us.’ ‘I think it’s worth a try.’ ‘You do? You don’t think I’m being stupid.’ ‘No, of course not. You’re doing what you think is best for your relationship.’ ‘I just keep thinking about all the people who came to our wedding day. Imagine having to tell them that the vows they witnessed were all for nothing. I don’t want them to feel bad, and I certainly don’t want them to feel bad for me.

Perhaps it was his version of a mid-life crisis. Boys will be boys. I know I’m making excuses for him, and I also know that part of the reason for that is because I’m not entirely innocent myself these days. Not after I shared a kiss with Rory outside the bar that night. Okay, so it wasn’t a full-blown affair, but, technically, I’m still a married woman, so I’ve cheated too. I’m not quite sure it makes us even, and it was only in retaliation to what Drew did before, but it’s still proof to me that life isn’t as simple as it might seem. People slip up. People do things they shouldn’t, things they regret. That doesn’t make them bad. It just makes them human.”
