Sarah sat up. “Wait. What?”

Bridget’s eyes went wide. “You didn’t know.”

Sarah knew about Trish from their office. She didn’t know about anyone before Trish and at this point she didn’t want to know any details. Her chest went tight. A new wave of anger and hurt washed through her. “I guess I only knew about one of his affairs.”

Bridget sighed. “I’m so sorry.”

“Do you know how many?” In a way, Sarah didn’t want to know, but it was better to learn it all now and move on.

“When I asked, he brushed off those ‘we’s.’ He’d say he meant a colleague who attended a meeting with him. A client he took out to impress. But I knew he was lying even as I tried to convince myself he’d never do that.” Bridget twisted her lips into a frustrated frown. “I don’t know exactly how many. I know it went on both times you were pregnant. And while it’s completely unfair of me, I blamed you, thinking that you used your pregnancy to distance yourself physically from him during that time. I know some women don’t like sex when they’re pregnant. Some men aren’t into it either. It’s your choice. But Sean told me he resented the months you were pregnant because you two didn’t . . . And he felt abandoned.”

Sarah fumed. “Well, didn’t he play that up for sympathy with you? Not that it’s any of your business, but I never denied Sean during that time with Jack. Leading up to getting pregnant with Nick, we barely touched each other, except when we were yet again trying to put the marriage back together. Which usually meant he needed me to complete some huge project to bring in a big payday. Once I was pregnant, Sean stopped pretending to try to hold the marriage together at all and I knew he’d moved on.”

“I knew it was the end for me and Rob when I started noticing the way his eyes wandered to other women when we were out. He didn’t see me as the woman he wanted anymore and it seemed no matter how hard we tried to get back to that place where we loved and wanted each other, we just couldn’t get there. So before one of those lingering looks turned into something more, I asked him for the divorce. I couldn’t stand to think he’d betray me like that and just thinking that maybe he would tore me to shreds. I can’t imagine how you felt knowing Sean was with someone else.”

“It killed everything between us. I was crushed and devastated even though I saw it coming. I grieved for what I thought we had and what I wished we could have been. I was angry and hurt, but that was nothing compared to the fury and anguish I felt when he started seeing someone from the office openly.”

Bridget sat quietly for a moment, then whispered, “Trish.”

“Yes,” Sarah confirmed. “I take it Sean didn’t hide her from you either.”
