Weeks passed, and it was the same thing every time Susan and I went out.
People always found a way to bring up Sarah, to compare them. It was grating on my nerves.
Why did they have to pick on Susan? It wasn't her fault that I didn't love Sarah. If anything, Sarah was the other woman. Susan was the one I'd loved from the start. I stood outside our bedroom door, listening to her muffled cries. We had just come back from another event, and it had happened again.
Someone had called her 'the other woman.' My hands balled into fists. Why couldn't they just let it go?

She jerked away from my hand. "Don't," she snapped. Her voice was raw. "You just stood there, Richard. You just watched while they called me the other woman."
I felt a knot in my stomach. "I... I didn't know what to say," I muttered. "You know it's not true. They don't know our story."
She lifted her head, her eyes red and puffy. "But they keep saying it! Every single time!"
She wiped her nose with the back of her hand. "It's like... it's like I'm some kind of villain. And you... you just stand there."
I felt the sting of her words. "That's not fair," I said quietly. "You know it's not fair."
