Old Roy was plenty fuming by the time he opened the bathroom door. He had been betrayed by his own wife, the woman he had loved for over ten years. He was angry. He could have done anything at that moment, even murder if he were pushed to it. But he didn’t do anything. He just stood there watching Eliza peek out at him from behind the shower curtain. She acted like a scared little girl who was attempting to hide from the boogey man.
“You know,” was all she said.
“I suspected.” He replied. He hadn’t actually known until ten minutes ago when he confronted Trevor in the rain slickened driveway. As far as he knew Trevor was still lying unconscious, the victim of his mean right hook.
“Now what’s going to happen?” Her lower lip was quivering. Apparently she was expecting him to do something rather stupid. However, he had never beaten his wife a day in his life and he wasn’t about to start now. Instead he picked up a towel off the towel rack and calmly dried his face off.
“I guess a divorce is in order.” He glanced toward the mirror. He was bleeding from his cheek. His sucker punch had been warranted. Trevor had been the instigator of the fight, striking a glancing blow. “By the way, your handsome young lover is lying unconscious in the driveway. You know, I never thought of you as the cougar type. Is the kid even out of high school?”
“He’s more of a man than you will ever be!” She screamed at him. Roy felt truly hurt by this comment. Granted, he had had some problems in the bedroom immediately after the accident, but he was still able to stand up and salute, not that Eliza was ever around to see if anything was flying from his flag pole.
“He’s a child, Eliza. He was playing with Hot Wheels cars the night we were on our honeymoon.”
“Boy that’s rich.” She slammed her fist against the wall in anger. “What about you and that hot little eighteen year old intern from your office? What does the rest of your staff call her? Oh yes, now I remember, easy lay Laverne. I saw you with her at that motel out on route 6.”
