The Wrong Woman

Imogen said, "No need. You work so hard, so you should relax when you get back from work. I can handle this myself." Sitting on the edge of the bed, Jasper pondered for a moment. He said, "Imogen, let's talk."

Instead of stopping what she was doing, Imogen asked, "Talk about what?"

"Let's get to know each other better to ease the adjustment period after marriage." Imogen looked at him silently.

Jasper said gently as he looked into her eyes, "We both have jobs, so we don't get much time together."

Imogen smiled faintly. She said, "Life is long. Are you afraid we won't get to know each other well enough?"

Jasper asked, "What's your relationship with Ethan?" Imogen fell silent. Jasper continued, "Is he your ex-boyfriend?" Imogen put down the cloth she was holding and leaned against the desk. She responded, "No. He is just a friend."

"And what about his wife?"

Imogen replied, "She was my close friend, but now she's just a neighbor that I'm familiar with."

Jasper asked, "Do they live nearby?"

Imogen said, "Yes. We grew up together, but we're just ordinary friends."
