She thought she should feel devastated. Betrayed. The man she had been lovers with for years, with the woman who had been aiming to be her friend. Both of them together,
While she waited to have a conversation about strengthening what she thought they still had. Maybe even a conversation with both of them, in different ways. About different relationships.
Instead, a strange numbness spread through her, like her body was protecting her mind from the full impact. Or her head was making it harder to want to move her body with excessive emotion.
