“For your information his name is Simon, or it was. Simon died of a heart attack a few months ago, I am thinking about moving back to this area. Maybe I can start seeing something of you and Claire?”
I couldn’t believe the arrogance of the woman. Her lover has died and she wants to just walk back into our lives.
“Don’t expect me to say I am sorry he died, because I’m not! You walked out on the three of us for a life with him, and now he’s dead you want to play happy families again. Do us all a favour and go home, there is nothing here for you. I know I speak for Claire when I say that. Goodbye Maggie.” I turned and walked away, I watched as she walked to her car. Maggie sat for a few minutes before driving away. Claire arrived home with the boys ten minutes later.
That evening I told Claire about Maggie’s visit, and what she wanted.
“I hope you told her to fuck off?” Claire replied.
“Yes I did. I wasn’t that blunt, but she got the message.” Claire smiled as I told her.
“The boys are asleep and there is nothing else to do, what do you say we treat ourselves to an early night?” Claire had a mischievous grin on her face as she walked towards our bedroom.
