“Not like that.”
“So why tell me about it then?”
He wondered that himself. “It felt like something you should know.”
“I didn’t need to know.”
“Oh.”
“Knowing everything is overrated,” she said.
“Are there things that you don’t tell me?” Myron asked.
She sighed. “It will sound like tit for tat.”
“I’d still like to hear it.”
She rolled over so that her head rested in her hand. “When I was in Rome last month, I had a drink with Charles.”
Myron didn’t like what he was feeling. “Ugh,” he said.
Terese said nothing.
“Did he hit on you?”
“Of course he hit on me.”
“But you weren’t going to tell me.”
“No,” she said.
“Why?”
“Because it doesn’t matter.”
“I don’t get it.” Myron sat up. “You know what Charles is like.”
“I do.”
“So why the hell would you go out to drinks with him in the first place?”
“You’re kidding with that tone, right?”
Now it was Myron’s turn to stay quiet.
“Last night, you slept in the same bed with an ex you share a son with—an ex you once asked to marry you. Why didn’t you just drive back?”
“I was meeting Jeremy in the morning.”
“Which you could have done from the city,” Terese said. “You chose instead to stay at Emily’s house on the beach.”
“She needed someone.”
“And suppose I told you Charles needed someone?”
“Oh please. It’s not the same thing. You know that.”
Terese smiled. Myron could see it in the moonlight coming in from the window. She looked so beautiful right now. He wondered whether he’d ever seen anyone look quite this beautiful before.
