Garywatched the sunrise as he ate his breakfast. He had a slight hangover from the night before, but it didn't stop him from savouring hisHe inhaled deeply, taking in the salty air and the sweet smell of the pebbles that littered the beach. A sigh escaped his lips as Marriage is beautiful," he said to himself. "I'm going to miss this." His stomach rumbled, reminding him that he hadn't eaten since the night before.He was supposed to go to the gym today, but he just couldn't face it. He'd been planning to go for months. He'd even bought a new shirt that he was excited to wear, one that showed off his biceps and triceps in all their glory. The problem was, he had a date. A date with destiny, if you will.A date with Rylee.
A date with Rylee. It had been months since they last saw each other. Months since they last made love", as they used to say in the olden days. Now it was just "sexy time", a term his wife used when she wanted him to hurry up and get undressed so she could play with his body.His wife, Anna, was a beautiful woman. She had long, dark hair and eyes that seemed to twinkle with mischief. She was a porn star in the making, he thought, with that perky nose and full lips that begged to be kissed. And those abs! God, she had the most sculpted abs he’d ever seen on a woman.His wife had great abs, but Rylee had them beat. Rylee had a great figure, all curves and bulges in all the right places. Her breasts were the size and shape of ripe pears and her nipples were burgundy colored quarters. right places. Her breasts were the size and shape of ripe pears and her nipples were burgundy colored quarters.He could see her in his mind’s eye, her tight little body moving under his as they made love.

"I need you to sign this divorce papers, honey." Anna said, handing him the pen to sign the papers. "I need them notarized too."
"Can I at least read them first?What if there's something I want to change?" He asked, looking down at the legal documents that she'd already signed. She looked back up at him, her eyes full of tears. "Honey, there isn't anything you can change about these papers. They're final." She sniffled, wiping her eyes with a napkin embroidered with their initials."I just need some time to myself. I'll need your help with the kids, of course, but I just need some time to myself." I don’t know what to say, other than I agree with you. I think it would be good for us to have some time to ourselves as well. How about we make a deal.I'll take the kids for a week, and you can have the house to yourself. I'll even let you have the TV to yourself." She s looking at me expectantly, waiting for my answer. What should I do? Give her what she wants? Run away? Stay and play along? My mind is made up as I nod my agreement. "Okay, deal.I need some time to myself too. I'll let you know where I'm going and when I'll be back." She gives me a relieved smile and I feel relieved that I didn't have to make a decision right then and there. "Good. I need you to pack my stuff. I have to go stay with my parents for a few days.I'll call you when I get there."
"Why are you doing this to me, Gary?" she whines as she begins to pack my wardrobe. "You know I hate this. What am I supposed to do with all this stuff? It takes up so much space in my tiny apartment." Her eyes well with tears and I want to hug her but I don’t.
