As if in a dream, Tom walked out of the bar and into the grey Sydney rain. It’s over now, he thought as he walked, they have what they want.
He imagined spending the evening with Terry. He could unburden himself and tell Terry everything.
“I’ve dishonoured her and myself and I’m totally ashamed. I don’t want to lose her or my girls. I will do anything to make sure I don’t lose my family.”
“Do you still love Vic?” Terry would reply.
“Yes, with all my heart!”
“Good. Look, I lost my wife and my job because of my self-absorbed ways. You need to ask yourself are you going to cheat on her again. Isn’t that what got you into all the trouble with this Vlad guy?”
Tom felt relieved just thinking about it. There was a lifetime to catch up on. He hoped the cellar was still well stocked.
