"Seven's fine. Yes, I think we were, for a while. No charge, I'm angling for repeat business," I smiled.
A new customer came in the shop, ringing the bell. "Be with you in just a moment, sir."

I'm not a pushover. Pat tried to jump me in her flash sales director company car Lexus, with its smoothly-operating passenger door, but I resisted her advances.
I knew I could hold out for three weeks, but then she ambushed me on that dark grey stair carpet, after just three dates in those first three days, unfairly using home-made lasagne followed by sherry trifle made with sprinkles.
That bloody woman can be irresistible when she wants to be.
The End.
I am pretty sure I can see what the author was trying to do. Husband f$cks (wrongfully) assuming his wife is cheating, but is wrong, despite all the apparent evidence, identity mishap, wife has never cheated (author all but absolutely spells that ouy in the story), severs all co tact with family, long separation, frabtic search, and then reconciliation.
But the author messed up the execution. The massive plot hole really makes it unbelievable. Namely that his wife does not confess to her kids that it was someone else in their marital bed (what is up with that anyways?) and their father thought it was her. Not Evie even knows and does not tell her niece and nephew. By NOT doing that, it created the final rift where the kids disowned their father and he severed all contact and vanished. Hence the one year or so gap. Th author wanted the long painful gap. But to get there from the altercation to the separation required actual malice on the part of his wife. That would be very hard to forgive. NOT to mention the other hole of WHY is she letting two people at work cheat in their marital bed on a regular basis? Wtf?
So laudable idea, but botched execution going from A to B. Regardless 4 stars for thr creative attempt.
The wife's clearly not right in the head, why would she let the Lovers use their house and their bedroom for that matter? She did wrong. Any husband would have assumed the same thing. While the husband reaction was over the top, and the way the author writes there's clearly big plot holes, like we don't even know how much time passed during the separation and the kids were bastards as well clearly cutting him off, granted it was because the wife lied. But if the wife didn't cheat why so scared to tell the truth and let the adulterous use their house. Clearly she was cheating as well. If the author clears all this up could have been a nice reconciliation story
Cliche after cliche. Yet another cliched LW husband who is essentially a child: impulsive, unthinking, out of control of his emotions, morally rigid, self-pitying and unable to talk to his wife of 20+ years. How someone this immature gets through life I can’t understand. Plus, this story dragged on and on - why say something in one sentence when you can write it in 4 full rambling paragraphs that add nothing to the story? Completely unbelievable actions and responses from every character in the story. 1*.
My oh my are people picky! Sure I have problems with the story, just like anyone will have problems with this or that story. But really? My issue would be this: why oh why would she try to get back together with a person who was such a short distance from love to World War III? Plus, it was a bit convoluted. But whatever. It was a nice change of pace from most "cheating" stories.
