The Letter

The Letter

A few days later he asked:  "Do you think I would cheat on you?"

The fact the question was asked dictated silence.  

He repeated it.  I remained silent.

He showed me the letter.  Typewritten.  Addressed to him at his place of employment.  An anonymous letter.  Describing the night he went out with his friends from work while I remained home with the kids.  A letter in which he was chastised for having an affair with his assistant.

He denied that anything was going on.  She was just a friend.

Why is he showing this to me?  Ah, it's a small town.  I'll find out about the letter.  Or he's worried I'll get a similar letter...
