Do you want a round trip or a one way ticket Maam? The agency asked.

I blinked.

A one way ticket I answered.

I will book another flight when I choose to come home

Okay maam thats no problem

Is your husband coming with you? she asked.

I folded my lips and try to suck in the frustration.

No honey!

She looked at me with a questionable look and I looked away.

I was anxious to leave this place. These people ask too many personal questions and I was in no mood to tell them my husband cheated on me with a girl twice his age.

Okay Mrs. Clarke, one moment

Your itinerary is being printed

I shuffled in my seat trying to rid myself of the uncomfortable feelings of anxiety. I grunt in displeasure.

My phone rang. I looked down at it and frowned. It was Paul. I rejected the call.

Memories came flooding like an avalanche in my brain as I remember times gone by when I was the one in Pauls position. There were nights when I use to call him multiple times and he did not pick up. I would bury my face in the pillows and cry my eyes out. I developed a hate for cooking because of Paul. I used to cook his favorite meals and wait up for him like a fool, convincing myself that he was just working late and things will get better soon. I was a fool for love.

My phone rang again. I decided to pick up this timesince I didnt want these people at the travel agency to figure out that I had issues in my marriage.

Yes, Paul? I answered.

Where are you? he questioned.

I wanted to say none of your business Paul, instead, I said, I will be home soon Paul, Is anything the matter?

Okay, we need to talk, he said.

I paused. I did not know how to respond. I was worried that he found out about Kevin. Kevin had been calling me a lot lately but I ignore every call. I regretted getting involved with him. We had fun but it was good for what it was worth and now it was over.

Okay, Paul I said and hanged up.
