I have just been to parents evening with my daughter. She is doing an extra year to consolidate what she should have learned in the last 9. In the coffee break I spied Andy, the lawyer that I had a brief affair with earlier this year, before his wife found out.

Now that was a surprise. I know that he had been talking of sending his son for an extra year as well, but it didn't occur to me that he would be in the same school and class as my daughter

So we glanced at each other, and looked away. In the classroom afterwards we stole looks at each other. His wife was with him, and at first glance I saw a tall slim elegant attractive woman, but looking closer as I stole those glances, I saw a very unhappy woman, her face lined and set, her arms folded. The body language was very clear.

I don't think she is like that because of the brief affair Andy and I had. From what he told me she was already like that, that is why he looked for solace outside the marriage.
But it did look like nothing had changed. Andy too looked smaller and older than I remember, although still good looking. Very sad really.
