“Let’s meet somewhere on the weekend?” my ex-husband suggests, and quietly adds:
“Lera is away.”
Lera is my former best friend, with whom he cheated on me five years ago.
I understand perfectly well what he wants from me and what he’s hinting at. They ran into each other by chance, and suddenly my saliva is dripping at how much I’ve changed. He wants to get her back.
Maybe this is the “boomerang law”? I’ll become his mistress, destroy their marriage, and return to them all the pain they caused me.
The only question is—will I be able to?
