Date Night Confession: Owning the Past
Delores Swallows
They’ll take in a movie, have a romantic supper, or simply go somewhere new for a drink. Soon, Stuart notices his wife drawing appreciative looks from other men. Not only does he find it exciting, but it also inspires him to bring up something he’s known for eighteen years. He steers the conversation to how their marriage has outlasted those of many of their friends. This, as he knew it would, pushes Zoe to confess to having an affair many years earlier. Her guilt and regret are clear. When he admits to knowing about it at the time, Zoe is horrified. She asks why he hadn’t put a stop to it.
But Stuart has a confession of his own. He’d found the idea of her being with someone else arousing.
As more secrets about their feelings are revealed, Stuart and Zoe find themselves on a path they never expected to be on at this point in their lives…
