Sequel: Alone This Holiday ›
Better Man
Chapter One
You never think it will be you sitting in a big house, waiting and watching the clock. My husband goes out every night 'with the guys' I know that's bullshit, I know he's with Merideth, but what the hell does a stay at home wife do about that?
Nothing.
I pretend nothing is wrong, everything is perfect. I get up and get our son ready for school, making sure he is unaware that things are going south with his parent's marriage. Sometimes Brian will be awake, too; so he usually get's our second son, Aeden, ready while I help Scotty.
Brian usually will go to the studio, a friends house, or hang around the house while I drive Scotty to school, then come back home and tidy the house. I grocery shop some days, the times when Brian comes with me makes me feel as though we're actually married, other times I go by myself, and sometimes Aedan comes with me because Brians gone out. It's always hard coming home to a house without Brian, as I know where he is, and I know where he's not.
He is with Merideth.
He is not anywhere else.
He is in love with himself.
And nobody else.
