“Well, that’s not exactly true. There have been cases where…” I started to tell him, getting off track. He stopped me though.
“Anna, I’m sure that’s all very interesting, but it doesn’t answer the question.”
“The answer is no. I haven’t been with anyone else or even thought of doing it.” The instant relief on his face made me want to punch the crap out of him. “I was too heartbroken to even notice other people at first,” I told him, quickly wiping the smirk off of his face because he knew he couldn’t say the same thing since he was already with another woman when I found out I was pregnant. “Then, I started getting sick and had more important things on my mind anyway. Plus, after I was married, there was no way I would break those vows I made since I’d already made such a huge mistake by stretching the truth to begin with.” The smirk was completely gone and he was sitting there looking as miserable as I felt inside. Okay, well, being able to talk without slashing wounds open would obviously have to be a work in progress for a while.
“Sorry,” I finally managed to get out. “You smirking about it made me angry.”
“You have every right to be, Anna. We both handled things in very different ways, and of the two of us, your way was the healthier one. Don’t feel bad about putting me in my place when I need it.”
“Fine, then I suggest you clean up the party stuff that was never used, since everything got derailed.”
“I think I have a better idea.”
