and turned my head. I could hear Margaret call softly into the room.
     
    “ Signor Salvatore, dinner is ready.”
     
    I sat there for a few more seconds and stared at the wall. I then stood from the couch and left the comfort of my office. I made my way down the corridor through the kitchen and into the dining room. Maria and Mitchell were already sitting at the table.
     
    “Dad, let’s get going with grace here. I’m starving!”
     
    Maria grabbed Mitchell’s hand.
     
    “Mitch, be nice at the dinner table.”
     
    The food looked delicious and it smelled just as good. I wasn’t sure I was hungry at all. I looked at my son, who had snuck a roll; proceed to demolish it at the table, dropping crumbs all over his clothes and the floor.
     
    “Michael, can you please say grace before Mitchell chews off his hand?”
     
    She never once looked at me.

    That evening, I was sitting in my office on the computer searching for Maxine. I found her listed phone number. I debated whether or not I should call. Would she be awake? I could picture her getting ready for bed. I wondered what she would be wearing.
     
    Maria was already in bed and I was sure she was happy I didn’t join her. I hated feeling like I rape my wife every time I want to make love to her. I truly love her but I can’t take this anymore. I need a woman to satisfy my needs. Maybe I did need to just let her go and get the hell out of this marriage.
     
    At that second, the door to my office creaked and I looked up noticing Margaret standing in the doorway. She was holding a single rose in her hand.
     
    I froze.
     
    She walked over to my desk and placed the rose in the center. I looked up at her and she was smiling. I tried to speak but nothing came out. I just stared at her and watched her back as she made her way to the door. Before leaving she turned and looked over her shoulder at me.
     
    “I thought you might need it.” She said before closing the door shut.
     
    I looked down and picked up the rose. I put my nose in between the soft velvet petals and took a deep breath.
     
    “Margaret, you are right,” I said. “I do need it.”

    “So ladies, my attorney said there is a great chance I am going to take him for everything he’s got. The cheating bastard!” Selena said happily taking a sip of her espresso.
     
    We were having lunch in our favorite spot, “The Solar Café”.
     
    The ‘café’ was a very prestigious place for upper class women to see and be seen. It served only high-end food and only to high-end people. It was owned by one of the richest men in the state and my husband was the man responsible for renovating and remodeling the establishment.
     
    No wonder I get the best table!
     
    The girls and I met Selena there after her visit to her divorce attorney’s office. We thought that it might cheer her up, but after her little announcement of receiving her fair share of their immense wealth, I thought congratulations were in order.
     
    “I don’t get why he would cheat on you.” Shannon said taking a bite of her low fat chicken salad sandwich. “I mean, you are a fabulous woman.”
     
    Alexis and I agreed with Shannon. Gary was an idiot to cheat on Selena.
     
    Selena was blonde with short hair in a bob. I always thought that she was amazingly beautiful. Her five foot seven inch frame was slender, athletic and head turning. There was no way Gary could find anyone more beautiful than her.
     
    I looked at Selena.
     
    Her face was flushed and she looked uncomfortable hearing all of the insults thrown in Gary’s direction. I was feeling very bad for her.
     
    “Selena,” I said placing my hand on hers. “If you ever need anything let me know.”
     
    She smiled looking into my eyes.
     
    I moved my hand.
     
    Looking around the table at the rest of the group, I realized other than Selena; I was the most attractive.
     
    Alexis was
