What I was thinking when we were all at the hotel together

I was sweating uncontrollably. Partially because it was about a million degrees outside, but partially because I knew I had to break the news to Tom somehow. I had an idea of what I wanted to say but I didn't know exactly how to say it. I started to get second thoughts, too. It was fun sneaking around, and no one really knew what was going on? If people didn't know what was happening was it really hurting them?

I wanted to out of the whole thing, but my pride wouldn't let me. What kind of man would I be to Daisy if I chickened out. I needed to stand up to Tom. That would show the both of them that I was worthy of her love. I knew it was go-time. I looked over at Daisy, gave her a slight head nod and a wink to signal that we were going to carry this out. We were going to get this over with right now, and in five minutes, maybe less, we were going to rush home, pack our bags, and set out on our brand new life together.

I straightened out my tie, fixed my hair, and grabbed a drink. I approached Tom, halfway done my drink. I looked him in the eyes- and I saw a worried man. It was as if he knew what was going on, and he felt he could do nothing to save himself. This excited me, and made me even more confident in what I was about to do. I stepped back, finished my drink, and ran through my lines one last time Then I came back up to Tom to settle all of this once and for all.
