Love, it exists for a time, and then what do you do. The wall was grey in their apartment. Alice a 35 year old nurse sat on the bed, she was crying. Ted, the man. Her man, 41, stood staring out of the small Psycho opening scene hotel style window. He could jump he thought, never having gone skydiving for fear of heights Ted still contemplated experiencing the utter terror of falling, over having this conversation with his wife.

“You’re cheating aren’t you?â€? Alice spoke; she was hurt and sure of her accusations. Ted had cheated before, once, with a high school student.

“I’m not cheating!â€? Ted was angry; he didn’t like to be accused when he was not guilty, nor when he was guilty.

Ted looked at Alice, he pictured her now and as she was, what was different now he wondered. They had met on a train, a chance meeting that held no significance to Ted. To Alice, at the time, it was everything.
