 He slipped the coin through the slot, dialed the all so familiar number and waited as the dialing tone tolled. He had made his decision. No more hiding. No more secrets and lies.
“Hello sweetheart, can I come over?” his silky voice half-begged. “Who is this?” Sandra queried. “John, is that you? Where are you?” He hung up quickly. What an ass? He felt like kicking himself over and over again. How could he have been so stupid? His knees almost gave way, weakening his resolve to end his marriage. He slotted another coin, this time to end the affair. WORD COUNT: 100 |

Dear Kwadwo,
Sounds like he’s made the right decision. Perhaps things will work out in his marriage for the good. Good one.
Shalom,
Rochelle

Thanks for your visit to the contining story of Raynard and Saskia.
Alastair and I are having fun with it.
I’ve got a page for the story on my blog and so does Alastair if you want to read it from the beginning.
Endings can be new beginnings. As Rochelle said… I hope he can move forward 🙂
I agree. Endings can be new beginnings. I think I’ll write it down.
I wonder how many more times he will change his mind before he runs out of quarters.
I think he’s learnt his lesson.
Hahaha! Sounds like a man who can’t keep a woman no matter how hard he tries … or is it the other way around? I Liked it!
I think he should be man enough to end it in person. At the rate he’s going, he may have to as he’ll probably run out of coins! 🙂 Sad situation for them both.

I don’t think John is the type that solve their problems with a head-on confrontation.
He’s cowardly, which makes him pitiful and insecure.
Oh I really liked this! HA! Sometimes the path of least resistance is the way you gotta go! 😀
Anyone who changes his mind that easily should be dumped by both of them. He needs to man up.,think it through, before he does anything. He’s messing with lives and shouldn’t have started messing before he even resolved his current situation. Ah, but then I guess we would have no story, n’est pas?

Well said 🙂
A good decision, I dare say. 🙂
This is good and all too true. So many in ife end up having to make that kind of choice. We are human after all. Very capable of making mistakes and straying and then trying to figure out the right path. Very well written, excellent take on the prompt! 🙂
Thank you, Penny.
Neat story, so much captured in so few words.
Loved it.
I’m glad to hear it.
Thanks for coming over.
Let’s hope he sticks with the decision – clearly the double life isn’t working out for him, and he won’t be happy until he sticks with one or the other.
I agree with you, Trudy.
Almost like a happy end 🙂
ooh, good thing he was weak kneed. He might have ended up with someone wrong for him. Let’s hope his wife doesn’t know what he has been up to.
If there’s on thing I know about women, it’s that they can tell when their husband isn’t being honest with them.
Hopefully he doesn’t waffle again or everyone is going to lose patience. Sounds like he made the right choice though.
