The Other Woman

by Nina Sexton


Myrah knows she's special, for he treats her like a queen, and every Thursday they convene. This eve his favorite of spaghetti, to commiserate his birthday with confetti. Champagne and a massage, she wears his corsage. Until tomorrow, when they part with sorrow. She knows his life belongs with his wife.
The other women frown.
In this affair, there is no happy ending, do they dare? He loves her for her heart but forgets it when they're apart. Myrah is a believer though and she can't hang on forever in tow. She escapes that clown before he lets her drown.
