"Hey Gladys, where are you? We need to talk." FP said down the phone. Alice couldn't hear what she was saying but FP's face showed that she wasn't happy. "I'll come to the trailer in a bit." FP said and put down the phone.

"Everything ok?" Alice asked putting her hand on FP's arm.

"I think she knows that I want to end it so she wasn't that happy."

"Understandable." Alice said, "Do you want a drink before you leave?"

"I shouldn't."

"Ok. Whatever happens, I'll still be right here."

"I know." FP said and put his arms around Alice's waist meaning she was brought closer to him. "Thank you." And then Alice kissed FP long and passionately. "Thank you" FP said and Alice chuckled.

When FP got to the trailer, Gladys was sitting on the sofa.

"Hey." FP said cheerily but Gladys didn't even look at him. "Ok, if this is how it's going to be."

"Well FP it is how it's going to be."

"I haven't even said anything yet, why are you so angry?" FP asking slowly getting angrier.

"I've got every right to be angry. You flaunt off to Alice's house and not back to your wife. Then I get a phone call saying you want to talk so what am I supposed to think but that you want a divorce."

"Wait, wait, how did you know I was at Alice's house?"

"I put a tracking app on your phone." After Gladys had said that, FP stood shocked and was certain there was no love lost between them.

"You're a psycho. Get out, you don't even have the dignity of getting an explanation from me."

Gladys stuttered but she couldn't think of anything else to say so she went to the bedroom and packed her things up. "What are you going to tell the kids?"

"That you ran off again, it should be quite believable." FP scoffed at Gladys.

FP got back to Alice's house and walked straight in and stood there. He hadn't really thought about everything that had happened so it all hit him then. Alice ran up to FP and embraced him. He collapsed in her arms and started to cry. "I have to tell the kids" he mumbled and Alice started to stroke his hair.

Once FP came out from the embrace, he looked into Alice's eyes. "We'll the tell the kids together, I'll be right there holding your hand. You're the strongest man I know, FP, you can do this."

"Thank you Alice, I appreciate that." FP said kissing Alice's cheek.
