Tess Stimson - the Adultery Club
“I just want you back. Nothing else matters besides being with you.’ My voice cracks. ‘Jesus, Mai, I wish more than anything I could turn back the clock.
I wish I’d told you before how happy you’ve made me, how much I love coming home to you every night, waking up next to you every morning. I know what I did was wrong. I have no excuse. But please, Mai. Give me a second chance. I swear I won’t let you down. Please.’ I don’t know what else to say. After a long beat of silence I click off my phone.... Behind me Sara is silhouetted in the bedroom doorway. I have no idea how long she’s been standing there, or what she’s heard.
I know, in some deeply instinctual way, what she is going to say, even before she opens her mouth and changes things forever.
‘I’m pregnant she says.
u Sara No,’ says my mother.
‘But Mum—’ ‘I said no.’ Her voice sounds strangled. I picture her at the kitchen sink, phone crooked between shoulder and chin, peeling Dad’s bloody potatoes for dinner tonight.MoreLess
