Chapter 4
When Johnny had gone and Trudy was left alone at last, she did a lot of thinking. She felt guilty as hell for what she had been up to. She knew she betrayed her husband, and this made her feel guilty. Yet, now and then a wave of satisfaction would sweep over her. She kept thinking about the fact that he had been disloyal with her, and this seemed to justify her conduct in her own mind.
Her girlfriend Jessica called her up and asked her to come over for lunch.
"Why, Jessica," she told her, "I just don't see how I can get over there for lunch. Look what time it is."
"I know, honey," she said, "But we could have a late lunch. I have something I desperately need to discuss With you."
"About what?' she asked her curiously.
"About my future, dear," she said, "and it can't wait."
