he could only imagine how badly she must be feeling.
    Despite several failed attempts to reach Carmen by phone, Dexter couldn’t leave it alone; he had to talk to her. He pulled into her drive. She must be home as her car was there. He knocked on the door.
    “What do you want Dexter? I have nothing to say to you. It’s over. I can’t handle this.” She screamed.
    “Please Carmen, I love you. Can’t we talk about it? We can work it out, I know we can.” He said, pushing the door back with his hand.
    “I don’t think so Dexter, not this time. I
    was already having difficulty with the affair but another woman pregnant with your child? How do you expect me to get over that? I don’t think I can do it. Could you?”
    “I don’t know Carmen. I would hope that I could. Just let me come inside and we can talk about it; please?” he begged.
    She reluctantly stepped away from the door allowing his entrance. When inside he took her in his arms and held her tightly. She burst into tears. His heart ached for her as he could feel the deep pain he’d caused her. He longed to ease her pain.
    “How could you be so careless Dexter? How could you get her pregnant? I thought I would be the one to have your children; the only one.” She cried.
    He kissed her lips gently and passionately. Her vulnerability caused her to be receptive of his affection. He then kissed her neck; she pulled him closer. Soon their hearts were pounding with excitement as their  bodies   became as   one; completely
    connected as they soared to ecstasy, totally unaware of the world around them.
    Carol had followed Dexter to Carmen’s house. Every moment he remained inside added to her infuriation as she knew what was going on. The longer she waited the more enraged she became. She refused to sit there and do nothing while the man she loved was making love to another woman. She had to relieve a bit of frustration somehow.
    She got out of her car, being careful not to make a sound as she closed the door. She inconspicuously crossed the street. Untwisting the cap on Dexter’s tire, she released the air until it was completely flat. Feeling a small sense of satisfaction, she returned to her car and left.
    Dexter and Carmen had fallen asleep. It was early morning before they awoke. Dexter had to hurry home and get ready for work. As he pulled his truck in reverse, it didn’t take him long to realize something was wrong; he had a flat.
    Carmen was sad to wake up alone. Though she and Dexter were having problems she loved him immeasurably and had no desire to go through life without him. It would take some time but she would eventually get over the disloyalty he’d shown her. She and Dexter would carry out their plans to wed; the sooner the better she thought.
    Carmen was presently attending nursing classes and was scheduled to graduate in three months. She was doing clinical training at a local hospital and had already secured a permanent position on staff upon her completion. She was thinking that she and Dexter should be married immediately following graduation allowing time for a honeymoon before she started her new job. A cruise would be a wonderful way to begin their new life together; miles off shore, surrounded by only endless waters and beautiful blue skies.
    As she rose up in bed, Carmen was suddenly nauseated. She ran to the bathroom and vomited. It must have been something she ate last night, she thought. She wet her face with a cold cloth and brushed her teeth. She then took a shower and got dressed as she had class today.
    Dexter was hard at work when his cell phone rang.
    “Hey, I was thinking. How do you feel about setting our wedding date for the week following graduation?” Carmen suggested.
    “I think it’s wonderful but are you sure?” he questioned.
    “I’m sure I love you and want to be your wife. I know our relationship needs a great deal hard work but I believe we can better work through it together.”
    Dexter was ecstatic.
