\nSummer 2015  \nMy marriage ended during my husband Patrick's fiftieth birth-day party.Our home was filled with friends.When Patrickfinally appeared,dinner had been eaten and cake served.Hislateness was awkward,made more so when he approached mereeking of Chanel No.5,which is not my scent.I turned myhead as he tried to kiss me,not caring how the gesture mightseem.I'd used up my embarrassment a long time ago.What Ifelt on that warm summer evening was relief.No more pretenseor false hope.No more marriage.  \nI'd spent the day with Betsy and Louisa preparing the houseand the food.Salad,sirloin,salmon.Beautifully ripe melon.Music.Flowers.I shouldn’t have bothered.I should have gonefor a walk,or to a movie,or taken one of my cast iron pans andsmashed it into Patrick's handsome,duplicitous face.  \nOur son Jonathan had been standing by my side.Eighteenyears old,tall and thin with a mop of dark,wavy hair.A younger,more intellectual-looking version of Patrick,but kinder.Morethoughtful.In touch with his feminine side,thanks to me.He  \nwas on his way to England,then college,then the rest of his life.But first,this night.The sight of his father's embarrassed grinand the stink of one of his sluts.I murmured that I was fine.That we'd be fine.I believed it to be true.  \nMy beautiful brownstone was filled with guests sophisticatedenough to act nonchalant as they stood,wine glasses or cakeplates in well-manicured hands.They handled themselves well.So did I.Louisa and Betsy,our tenants for so many years theyfelt like family,looked at me with concern.They needn't have.Patrick's late,aromatic arrival had given me a comforting deter-mination I hadn't felt in years.I stood straight and proud in myslim summer dress and bid the guests goodnight.I walked up thedining room stairs that led to our living quarters and changedinto my kimono,then left the master bedroom,passed the hallbathroom,Jonathan's room and entered the miniscule guestroom at the end of the hall.The twin bed with its rose-coloredchenille bedspread beckoned.The moon shed minimal illumi-nation through the single window into the cramped quarters.Asmall fan sat atop a low bookcase filled with old New Yorkers,but summer heat soothed.I closed my eyes,took deep breathsOm,rippling pond,weeping willows dancing in the wind,idiotleaning on a car horn,Om.  \nFor so long I'd pretended that long,lonely nights over long,loveless years didn't bother me.Nights in which Patrick camehome,undressed,climbed into bed and fell into deep,immedi-ate slumber.Sometimes I wasn't bothered because I was so busyselling real estate,so tired,that I welcomed his absences andour lack of intimacy.Other times,I despised him.This partywas such a time and it carried with it the added insult of havingthe state of my marriage so visible.So naked.  \nSo what.  \nJonathan entered the room.  \n“Mom,are you okay?”  \n“I willbe,honey.”I looked at my son and a flood of lovewashed over me.\"I just want to sleep this day off.\"  \nHe grabbed my hand and squeezed it,then left the doorslightly ajar","cbCaikSr1VbYilAx","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaikSr1VbYilAx","pdf",11755733,268,"English","# Introduction\n##
