“I have to stop”
“What you and I did wasn’t wrong in itself, Bren,†Stephen said. “But I’m married. It was dishonest and against Maggie’s will. I can’t hurt her anymore.â€Â
“Stephen, we love each other,†Brenda pleaded. “Can’t we go on together somehow?â€Â
“No, Bren. I have to stop. My marriage is too important to me. I care for you, but my commitment to Maggie comes first.â€Â
“What about our child?â€Â
“I’ll take responsibility and do what’s right. But if you and I ever hook up sexually, it can only be with Maggie’s knowledge and consent.â€Â
“Bullshit, Stephen! That’s never going to happen!â€Â
