THE MARRIAGE COUNSELOR
"What would your wife say if she knew you were here?" asked Gloria.
"We have an arrangement," answered Jeff.
"An arrangement? Does that mean she knows about me?"
"It's not quite like that. We just don't discuss it. We agreed years ago to stay happily married and if it required outside assistance we would do it," explained Jeff.
Gloria was silent for a while. "But that sounds like you agreed to get a marriage counselor."
"Did you want money for these marriage counseling sessions, Gloria? I could arrange for it, since technically this is a sex surrogate session and my marriage has never been better."
"This is a side of you I've never seen before, Jeff."
"Did you actually think I would divorce the mother of my children, run off to another city with you and live happily ever after?"
"I have to admit the thought did cross my mind a few times. I thought you loved me."
"But I do. I'm just married to someone else. Now come here and let me show you what I mean."
