Tristan didn't say one word as he moved around the room collecting his things. I sat on the end of the bed just watching him as the tears threatened to spill over at any minute. He packed three suitcases, two with his clothes and a duffel with his essentials. He moved towards the nightstand and stared at his hand before pulling the ring off and I felt what was left of my heart shatter. He set the ring next to our wedding photo and walked out with his Duffel over his shoulder and the suitcases behind him.
I looked into the closet from the bed and finally let the tears fall, this was all my fault. I hurt him and now he's gone. My phone rang and I wiped my face and cleared my throat before answering.
"Hello?" I answered.
"Darling, it's Timber." A husky voice said and I furrowed my eyebrows. "Your all over Google hun anyone can find your number."
"Oh." I muttered. Then said a little louder. "And why are you calling me?"
"Because your husband just rented a beach side apartment from my sisters real estate company, I saw it before anyone and changed the name just as a disclosure for you guys." Timber explained and I let my head fall.
"Thank you for that. But I need to go, Timber." I said and he sighed into the receiver.
"Look, Bell, I don't know what kind of shit you and Tris are going through but you guys gotta figure it out because he is hurting and hurting bad." He said and then hung up. I threw my phone down on the bed and rubbed my face sighing.
I showered and put on some PINK sweatpants and paired it with the jacket. I picked up my phone and dialed Spencer's number.
"What?" He said harshly.
"We need to talk." I said running my fingers through my hair to put it up in a bun.
"Okay then talk." He said.
"In person, Spence." I rolled my eyes and stepped out of the bathroom into the hallway. I looked at the picture of me and Tristan from college and then to the one from the second year of our marriage. I grabbed them off the wall and then turned them around placing them back where they were.
"Fine. Where?" He asked.
"Flannigans." I said naming the diner/bar down the street from his apartment. He said goodbye and hung up. I met him fifteen minutes later in the back Booth at the bar. He wore a white shirt with a flannel over it and his hair was still a messy mop on top of his head.
"I'm going to give this deal a chance." I said getting right to the chase. He stared at his hands sighing.
"Okay." He said shortly. I sat back as the waitress walked up.
"Two Boiler Makers." I said and she walked away nodding. I stared at Spencer as he fiddled with something in his lap.
"We should have ended this three months ago." He said finally and he looked up at me with his blue eyes.
"Why?" I tilted my head.
"Because that was before I fell in love with you." He whispered. His voice full of emotion that I never knew he had.

I slid off of his tanned torso with a huge sigh and he wiped the sweat off of his forehead before looking at me. "Thought we we're ending this?"
"We are." I sighed and sat up grabbing my clothes from the floor. I clasped my bra and shimmied into my underwear.
"I don't want too." He said. I looked at him over my shoulder and he stared back at me.
"I have to give it a chance. He's my husband." I pleaded. I put my hoodie back on and stood up stepping into my sweatpants.
"How long am I going to have to wait for you to make up your fucking mind?!" He yelled. I jumped and turned to him, he was now standing with his pants on.
"43 days." I said and he pulled at his curls before walking out of the room.
I slid my phone into my pocket and walked out the door, casting a side ways glance at him before walking out.
I went home and showered again and then laid down in nothing but my bra and cotton shorts. I stared at his ring on the nightstand and sighed heavily.
What if he was never going to fall for me again and we just end up like half of America? I clenched my eyes shut and sighed.
I knew that I was horrible person for cheating on such a great man and I was an even worse person because I didn't have a reason for doing what I did. I just did it out of impulse and now I'm paying the price. And the price is way over my budget.

Romance"You're having affair." Tristan gulped. "I am." I stated shortly. He opened his mouth to speak then closed it and the silence laid over the thick tension in the room. "44 Days." He muttered so low I almost didn't hear him. "What?" "You have 44 days...
