CHAPTER 56
The incompatible strangeness between me and Geoff had only increased. After the decision to let Peter go permanently, I tried to give my marriage another chance. The last one. I was looking for civil conversation with Geoff. After all he knew, it was completely useless to try to deny, or hide it. In the end I always gave myself the same justification, as I had done years before. I had never betrayed him with other men. Just with Peter Wiles, just with the only one that mattered to me.
The attempt had not worked. On the contrary, it made us even more alien and hostile than before. To the point that Geoff started drinking and more and more often reproached me for ruining his life. It was true, he was right. But as much as I was sorry, I couldn’t change things. Or maybe I could.
