It was eleven when I got home and I sat on the couch in the living room with the lights off and stared at the wall. I thought about what had been happening since I told Penny about Steve and Marsha and the more time I spent thinking about it the clearer it became that Penny had been steering things so that something like that night would happen. She was the one who asked the question, “Could you do something like that?” She was the one who initiated the role-playing and she was the one who asked me if I was ready to try the ‘real’ thing. “No problem” she said when I wondered how to go about it and she had a plan all ready to give me.
All my thinking just brought up more questions and more things to think about. Did I really know my wife? Obviously not or I would not have been so surprised
