Moonlight Part 2

Zachary wants to rekindle his marriage with Melanie but when he breaks some shocking news she wants to run into the arms of Warren. Yet, things are already taking a turn that she has no control over and she may lose everything.

Warren hailed the cab and he took my hand in his as we sat in the back seat. His wedding band reflected the light like an ominous beacon. I twirled it under my thumb so it spun around on his finger. He looked at me curiously.

“How many?” I whispered, wondering if he knew what I was asking.

He smiled. “First time.”

I raised my eyebrows at him.

“I have no reason to lie to you. You are the lie.” His face was void of emotion when he spoke and I wasn’t sure what to make of it. “It’s not too late to back out you know. You can still go home a loyal wife.”

From the corner of my eye I saw the cabby glance up quickly into his rearview mirror and I self-consciously lowered myself further into the plastic seats. I shook my head.

“I want this.”

And it was true. I wanted it more than anything and I couldn’t see myself turning back.
