Vindictiveness or Vindication
Dara thinks I am being mean and vindictive.
"Why did you have to put all of that on your blog. You made me sound like such a bitch."
"Why did you ask Carolyn if she had ever spoken with Zach. If she takes my place ..."
"You've won" she says tears streaming down her cheeks. "I am broken, you say it is not a competition, but why do you keep doing this to me?"
"I know you had a tough day, but I can never imagine what you went through. I am so sorry."
"I did it once, just once. I slept with him just once. How many times have you hurt me? How many women have you slept with since we met a year ago?"
Zach stirs, he is not asleep. I can tell that he is bothered by what is going on. "Hey sugar, it is okay" I say as I hug and kiss him. It is not okay for him to know what is going on. 11:15PM the clock reads, way too late for a seven year old. "I am just feeling a little sick," Dara offers having just been retching in the bathroom. He does not look convinced.
