The sparkles in his eyes arrested my attention and kept it. He smiled really big, hugging me.

"You don't have to say anything. I'm glad you came back to me, Princess. Gahdamn it you've been right under my nose and I didn't know it, until now."

"How did you know?"

He kissed my lips. I knew at that moment I was going to be his wife. That we would never be separated again.

"The smell of your hair told me everything, smelled the same way it did the night we met. Oh, God I can't believe this."

"Well believe this. I'm pregnant with your child, a little over two months. And if you want a DNA test, I'll give it to you. The night we made love at Georgia's house was the night our baby was conceived."

He hugged me, picking me up and spinning me in a circle. He was jubilant and ecstatic, I fed off it.

I had my King's back.

"But what about Tina?" he asked me.

"We're going through a divorce."

"Let's just leave town. Pack up and go, start over somewhere else."

He thought about it. "Yea, we can do that. How soon do you want to hit the road?"

I looked at him, hugging my future husband.

"Right now."

"I thought you'd never say it."

Georgia was in her closet, taking the suit case down from the top shelf. She could hardly reach it, so she used her tippy toes.

When she grabbed the handle, she pulled it down and it nearly fell on her head.

Inside the suit case was all of her high school memorabilia. She cherished it. While in high school her mother loved her acting.

She majored in Drama and excelled. She loved it so much she wrote a play. In it she pretended to be on the telephone while cooking dinner at the stove.

She was a lonely woman who had just lost her husband. Her teacher loved her play.

Pulling it out Georgia wiped some of the dust from the document, smiling bitterly.

Tears fell down her face.

She opened it to the first page.

Act 1: Scene One:

The Pretend Conversation...

[Georgia was cooking black beans at the stove].

"When are you going to fix my sprinklers, John? And what is that smell, I have a really sensitive nose..."

[Georgia joked through the phone, stirring some black beans].

"I'm back. What were we saying now?"

[She held the phone to her ear with her shoulder.]

"Oh, yea you wanted the recipe for my mama's ribs. What? I'm cranky? I need a massage? Nah, my husband will do that. What does that got to do with ribs? His job is to make sure I'm ok not yours. Ok? I don't cheat on my husband and he would never cheat on me..."

Dead inside, Georgia put the papers back in the suit case, frowning.

"Princess you fucked my man. I know you did. I saw you two in the shower

together..."

She closed her eyes and would continue to play.

The game...
