How Complicated Can It Get

prologue

"Happy Happy Happy..." I had to jump in and say "Aniverseary". We were getting along great. We were together at Ted and sallys 30th wedding anniversary party. It felt like old times. It hasn't been like that for a little less than ten years. Sallys sun came over to our tent. He asked jake and I when lukes graduation was. Jake was quick to answer with "next week". I chuckled a little bit and replied "3 days.". Jake let out cakle and said "this week.". We havent been like this for a little less then 10 years. Nothing could ruin this party, that was destroyed when I saw "her". I saw his wife Agnus Adler. All three of us are Adlers. Jake Adler cheated on our twenty year marrige for a 23 year old women. I divorced him a year later. And her got married to Agnus 4 months later. When she walked over to jake, i got this weird feeling that I didnt belong here. Of course I knew that wasnt true, but in the moment it felt completly realistic. "I have to get home to our children." I said in a comfident way. Agnus all the sudden stopped me and said something to me, but she never talks to me so I missed what she said. "What hotel are you staying at in New York?". I snapped out of the daydream. "We are at the park regent. You said you were at the four seasons.". She just kept giving me this look like I was wrong. "Nope were at the park regent as well. Cant wait to see you." Agnus declarled all proudly. I thaught this was confientient. That now when I go to my sons graduation that now I have to see him and his wife and her child. Just thinking about that makes me dizzy. But I really had to get home my youngest daughter is leaving for college today and I need to help her pack. Sally walked me out and kept talking about how Jake and I were soo sweet and that we were getting along like old times. "We do know how to do this by now. Its been ten years." I told her in between compliments. Sally gave me a hug goodbye and I was heading our the door. Not looking back at all..... Well maybe I looked back, but not at Jake. I looked back to wave goodbye to ted.
