The band began to play. They moved slowly to the music. She closed her eyes as the emotions washed over her. She clung to him and buried her wet face in his shoulder. This was to be their last dance. She was tired of sneaking around. It was becoming increasingly hard being around Frank, their kids and grand-kids always fearful that she would be found out. Last night, she finally decided that she was going to end the affair which almost lasted as long as her marriage.
Unnoticed in a crowded tent, Frank watched his wife dancing with his brother.

Notes to Women 
I wonder how long Frank has known, and if he will do anything now.

He has probably known for a while. Poor man. I don’t know what he will do. Two people he loves have betrayed him.

My heart dropped into my stomach at the end. No happy endings will be found in the near future.

Sadly, you may be right about there not being happy endings in the future or there may be few and far in between.

I hope she sticks to her intentions, and that it’s not too late. There’s a lot of unspoken heartache in this story.

Hopefully, she will end the affair but I don’t know what will happen to her marriage now that Frank knows.

Has she left it too late I wonder? Her affair will not end well that’s for sure.
Here’s mine!

No, this probably will not end well for both of them. Frank knows.

Unless he’s obtuse, he’s known for some time. I wonder what he’s thinking. . .

I think you’re right. He probably knew for some time or at least had his suspicions. It’s hard to know what he’s thinking. He’s probably so overwhelmed with pain and anger that he can’t think straight. Maybe he will confront them right there or wait.

Treachery rears its ugly head.
That too at an inopportune moment.
I love how you engaged the reader and then let the cat out of the bag.

Yes, adultery is a form of treachery. Thanks, Natasha 🙂 I wanted the reader to be caught up in the story and then relate to the injured party–Frank.
