The Affair
Casey:
Sparky and September played tug of war with his rope. I believe he won as I had to massage her aching shoulder.
MaryJo and I had strong feelings for one another. It had come to a point where we couldn’t ignore them any longer. We nearly got caught watching the stars together, and yesterday, we hugged in front of August. He’s so upset with both of us. I hope he doesn’t tell September what he saw.
MaryJo and I found ourselves alone in the basement. We kissed one another passionately. I had grown to love my sister-in-law. I couldn’t keep my hands off her.
Casey: Come to the treehouse with me.
MaryJo: I’ll meet you there.
MaryJo: I hope we don’t regret this.
Casey: I love you, MaryJo.
MaryJo: I love you, too. I don’t think we should do this again. If my sister found out, it would kill her.
September:
I had just sold a painting and was looking out the window when I saw Casey and MaryJo descend the ladder from the treehouse. It was like a knife was thrust into my heart and twisted. Were they…? I couldn’t even complete the thought. Could this be why August was so upset this morning before school?
Evan had fixed Lamar Johnson’s stereo and met him in the park to tell him that he delivered it to his house. He thanked Evan and gave him some Simoleons.
Parker and Beauty took home another first-place trophy for the top spot in the Rachelle Hunting Course. I’m so proud of my little brother.
When I came downstairs, Casey was reading a pregnancy book. Why?
September: How could you do this to me, to our family?
Casey: Do what?
September: Don’t act stupid with me! I saw you and MaryJo coming down from the treehouse together! Why did you have to do this with my sister?
Casey: I’m sorry. It will never happen again. Please forgive me.
September: Forgive you? I can barely look at you.
Casey: Please, give me another chance. I love you, September.
September: Like you love MaryJo? I want a divorce!
I turned around and discovered that I had an audience.
Humiliated, I ran into my bedroom and locked the door. I stared into the mirror. Am I really so unattractive that the father of my children would turn to my sister?
The doorknob rattled and then there was a knock at the door.
Casey: September, can we talk about this?
September: I have nothing to say to you! Go away!
Broken-hearted, Casey turned from the door and walked away.
Furious, I decided I needed time to myself. I grabbed a suitcase and threw my clothes into it. I went into the nursery and picked up April.
I am going to miss this little one the most. I hugged her tight.
I set April back on the floor.
September: Don’t worry, my darling daughter. Mommy just needs some time to herself. I promise I will come to visit often. I love you, April.
April reached for me, and my heart broke. I started to cry.
Before I could change my mind, I called and made arrangements to buy a house. When I left with my suitcase, I grabbed the keys to Casey’s car and took it with me.
~texansky~ This was a tough chapter to write. I had no idea where this was going until it played out, and I just went with it. It started with Casey and MaryJo constantly seeking one another out to flirt or watch the stars. Hugging amorously in front of August was the final straw.
My mind began to scheme, and I thought, what if… So I sent them for some w-hoo and they elected to go to the treehouse. September just happened to be upstairs where she could see them out the window.
I noticed that both Casey and MaryJo had the following moodlet. I got a good laugh out of it. How fitting! I guess I am the builder?
