Affair 4 The Final Chapter (MF, cheat)
by Anonymous (rickr@jumpnet.com)
(c) 1997
To all who have been following The Affair and have written
of their own experiences, I thank you. It's been some time
since I've written anything about it but I felt I owed all
of those people an ending of some kind. Frankly the story
has become very difficult to continue, on an emotional level
and I was considering just dropping it, but for those that
are interested, here is how things stand, and most likely
will remain...
--------------------------------------------------
After Michael and Sara's encounter in August of 1994, after
they had planned to be together by Christmas, Michael did
leave his family, moving into an apartment some 60 miles
west of San Antonio. (Sara, by this time had moved closer
to him as her husband had once again been transferred) The
day he made the move, he phoned Sara to let her know and was
told by her that some legal problems had developed for her
and her husband, and after discussing it with her attorney
she was advised that it would not be in her best interests
to leave her family at that time.
They kept in contact, on a daily basis and he would make the
two hour trip to see her over her lunch hour every Saturday,
and then drive the two hours back and spend the rest of the
week alone, waiting for things to be resolved, so that they
could finally be together. In March of 1996, he changed
jobs and moved once again, this time to within a mile of
where she lived, hoping to have more opportunities to be
together. He gave her a key to the apartment so that she
could stop by whenever she wanted to.
In April, he came home to find a note on his counter. She
had written that she had been torn in two directions for too
long and needed to make a decision, between her loyalty to
her children and her love for him. The children won. She
felt they would never forgive her if she ever left their
father, and she couldn't make that sacrifice, not even for
Michael. She said that she had closed her mailbox and for
him not to write to her again. She would mail the key back
to him the next day, which she did.
Michael respected her wishes, no matter that he was dying
inside for want of contacting her. But in his heart, he
knew the decision wouldn't last. They had been through this
before, each of them at one time or another, and the other
was always strong enough to wait until there was a change of
heart...and so it was, this time, as well. A month later,
he got a call from her. She was still torn, but still loved
him and didn't want to just lose all contact with him.
Over the next several months, they saw and talked with each
other less and less. The things they had to say to each
other became more strained...conversation just didn't seem
to be as easy anymore, most likely because they both knew,
in their minds even if they didn't want to admit it in their
hearts, that they would never really be together, and
neither wanted to have to be hurt again. He was afraid of
saying too much and frightening her off again, so they
pretended to be just friends, even though it was obvious it
was tearing them both up. They never did make love again
after that letter in April. She was afraid to even let him
touch her for fear of losing her resolve, and it was July
before they even kissed again.
In August, she moved yet again. Not far, but far enough so
they could no longer meet in the local park and talk with
each other.
Now it is November and they haven't seen or talked with one
another in over a month. Circumstances have made that
impossible, and Michael has finally admitted to himself that
it is time to get on with his life. He knows how difficult
that is going to be, because in the back of his mind there
will always be that comparison, that knowing that he blew
his opportunity to be with his soulmate when he made the
decision to leave that cold morning in Denver. In all of
this, that is his only regret because he is convinced that
was the one thing that could have made a difference in all
of this.
-----------------------------------------------------
To everyone that was hoping this was going to have a happy
ending, let me assure you, nobody is more disappointed than
I am, but this has always been a factual representation of
both the happiest and saddest times in a life...all in less
than a three year time span.
