Lydia arrived at a nearby café looking exhausted. She admitted that Greg had promised her he was preparing to leave me, but he kept delaying the decision. She had believed his promises and agreed to the partner exchange because he claimed it would make the separation easier. She also confessed that she had never expected Marcus to agree.
Then she revealed the biggest surprise: Greg had told her that I already knew about their relationship and had accepted it. She had only recently discovered that he had been lying to both of us. I listened quietly before telling her that I had never agreed to share my marriage. The following evening, I arranged for all four of us to meet.
