New Years Eve Affair

She puts on a fresh coat of lipstick, Wipes the mascara from beneath her eyes. Clearing evidence of tears, Masking her web of lies. She clutches her purse, And swiftly flicks her hair. Stepping out of the bathroom, And heads straight for the stairs. Back into the ballroom, Striding with elegance and poise. Amongst the other guests, Chattering and exuding noise. With champagne in hand her husband returns, Clinking their glasses he makes a toast. To his beautiful wife, Whom he loves the most. She glances at the ground before meeting his eye, A smile on his face as he's completely unaware. That she's just made love, to another man downstairs.

Before or after midnight? Many people have undying love for their spouse, but their spouse does not meet their physical needs . . . .Enjoyed! Aloha!

Good question! Before midnight. As her husband fetched some champagne to toast before the clock struck twelve. //\\
