 He had to admit: “I’ve tried thinking it through, Anna. Much as I love you, and I think you love me, I think maybe you’re a bit confused. How can a person be in love with two people?”
She burst into a patronizing little laugh. “You haven’t experienced it, my love. I hope you never do. It’s like being torn apart down the middle.”
“I still love you.”
“And I love you, my darling. Tell you what. Let’s make a deal. I see how you look at the beautiful girls, single, free, looking for love, all around us in this wonderful city. Let’s see each other once a week, let’s say Sunday. The rest of the week, you do whatever you want.”
At first, Tim fought the idea. Then he saw her logic. He had already lost her. Or he had never had her. Whom was he kidding? What was he to her? A crutch in a tight spot. She would stay married to Erek, who hopefully would be free soon. He wished Erek only the best. From then on, for the rest of her time in London, they made passionate love at his place on Sundays. She told him: “Sundays with you is all I need to keep me happy. I want one other thing.”
“What’s that?”
“I’ve decided I want you to take me to lunch once a week also.”
“You drive a hard bargain.”
“None of it makes sense, does it? It’s the war.”

Thank you for reading. If you love it, tell your friends. Please post a favorable review at Amazon, Good Reads, and other online resources. If you want to thank the author, you may also buy a copy for the low price of a cup of coffee. It's called Read-a-Latte: similar (or lower) price as a latte at your favorite coffeeshop, but the book lasts forever while the beverage is quickly gone. Thank you (JTC).
