Chapter and Footnote

Chapter I'm sorry I'm an ******* I'm not sure how this began but it must end. If we continued, I couldn’t face myself in the mirror as I can’t look into your eyes. Now. My wife and I have a history of interdependency and failing but there are huge expectations in our children’s eyes. They are my story I'm but a sorry chapter in your tale which we should never have opened and now must, sadly, close I'm sorry I'm an ******* but this must end. DWR - Ianuarius MCMXCVII Footnote I’m sorry you feel this must end. Sorrier that you are feeling badly. While you are not sure how it started, I’ve known how we would end up the moment I laid eyes on you. While you think to me you are but a sorry chapter. In truth, you are like the footnotes of my existence -- explaining a source of my preferences; providing additional relevant material; suggesting other areas to explore; clarifying unclear parts..... I’m sorry you feel this must end. Sorrier that you are feeling badly. While we have spouses that need us, I think we do enjoy and need each other. Flashette Jan 24 1997 post and echo of an imaginary affair

Thanks Richard. It was happenstance but is an interesting format for collaboration.
