Gina A betrayal like that, and who knows what to believe? Not all that long ago, I wanted nothing to do with being someone"s wife. Now I know why. I should have listened to my father about Joel. He tried to warn me. Why couldn"t I have just listened? I think about the letters, and I wonder, how had I not seen this coming? how had I not seen this coming?After I leave the motel, I"m fuming, and I do the only thing I can think of doing. I drive out to my father"s house. I have to return the car anyhow, but more than that, I don’t want to go home. I’m afraid of what I might do if I see Joel’s face. I haven’t even slammed the screen door when Mona greets me. “Hey, honey,” she says, and I don’t know what it is, but I see her face and then I just lose it. I fall to my knees and the tears star
