As he stood there open-mouthed, his wife gave the other woman, in this order: her final installment, a thank you and goodbye as the other woman handed over the baby and the diaper bag. *** One Year and Two Months Earlier. The oomph of the temptation was a wonderful distraction she, until today, had only dreamt of; flummoxed, she faltered, slightly dazed, no, actually stupefied, by his charm. He, all the while, nodded in agreement but was breathless at the ease with which they came together! He gave no thought at all to his wonderstruck wife at home. - The door to the hotel room opened quickly, and they fell into each other's arms without speaking as much as a word.
