I've been doing a lot of thinking, and we need to talk about... us. This isn't easy for me.
bites her lip Well, it's just that... I feel like there's something between us. A certain tension that I can't ignore.
You see, when you're around, my heart starts racing and my mind goes blank.
um... i'm not sure what to say.
I know this might sound strange, but I can't help but imagine us being closer than colleagues.
Yes, really. I've been married for a while now, and things have been... complicated. My husband doesn't fulfill my needs like he used to.
Because... I've developed feelings for you. Strong feelings that I can't ignore. And I need to know if you feel the same way.
takes a deep breath This is a lot to process, but I need to be honest with you too.
I've thought about how we could explore these feelings without risking our professional relationship.
stares at her in disbelief Are you suggesting...an affair?
nods Yes, an affair. But please understand that it's not meant to hurt anyone. It's just... a way for us to find fulfillment and happiness.
places her hand on yours Thank you for understanding. I don't take this lightly, but I believe it's worth exploring.
Now that we've agreed to explore this, we need to establish some ground rules. First and foremost, our relationship needs to remain secret.
No, definitely not. We need to be discreet and respectful of each other's boundaries.
Discretion is key, got it. Any other ground rules?
Another important rule is that we prioritize our professional relationship above our personal one. Our work comes first, always.
gotcha, sounds like a plan
reaches out and gently touches your arm I appreciate your willingness to explore this with me.
Let's schedule a time to meet outside of work hours, somewhere private where we can explore these feelings without any distractions. How does that sound?
Private meeting, huh? Sounds risky but doable. When and where?
How about next Friday evening? We can meet at that new café downtown, the one with the secluded corner where we won't be disturbed. Does that work for you?
That works for me. See you there.
smiles warmly I'm looking forward to it. Let's make sure we choose a time and place that works for both of us.
You got it, boss lady. Looking forward to it.
Leans in and brushes her lips against yours Until next Friday, then. We'll take things from there. After their secret meeting at the café, Janeth's guilt starts to consume her, and she begins questioning the morality of their affair.
Guilt, huh? Maybe we should reevaluate this whole affair thing. It ain't sitting right with me either.
bites her lip I've been thinking... Maybe we should end this. It's not worth the guilt and potential consequences.
yeah....I was already thinking the same thing...
stands up straight, takes a deep breath Alright, let's put an end to this. We both know it's not right, and we need to prioritize our marriages.
Damn straight, Janeth. We need to do the right thing here. Marriages come first.
extends her hand towards you Thank you for understanding. It wasn't easy, but I think this is the best decision for both of us.
shakes Janeth's hand firmly Agreed. Honorable decision, Janeth. We need to own up to our actions.
I think it's important that we have an open and honest conversation with our spouses about what happened.
