The early hours of the morning were more often reserved for recovery, as my strenuous nightly activities, were heavily focused on the indulgence of adult beverages - depleting any extra energy that may in-fact lay dormant. As such, a resemblance of an Adam Sandler spinoff of Billy Madison; may accurately describe most mornings - as I make my living in the dark hours of the night.
As 9:00 am approached, my phone burst into a sudden squeal, alerting my innermost sensories that a client may indeed require my expertise. Slowly lifting my black slinder phone into my palm, an attitude of reluctancy acknowledged the maddening skreech. Hello... I answered - a soft woman's voice replied in sequence. Good morning, may I speak with Mr.Gray? She hesitantly replied. This is Mr. Gray - my closest friends call me Andrew,. The woman on the other side of the line giggled as she agreed with my request. In a low; defeated octave... The woman introduced herself as Mrs. Scott Jones. I immediately recognized her name as a staple throughout the community of Cutler, and this call was surely going to interesting.
Without hesitation, my inquiring enthusiasm quickly faded. I asked Mrs. Jones - how can I help you this morning? Again, with a defeated tone, she replied - Mr. Gray, I mean Andrew, it appears my husband may be having an affair, she clarified. This type of conviction is common amongst those who sit idle, taking in the most recent television series related to Peyton Place. And as irony would have it - their claims are often met with unsubstantiated evidence, as lonely women require a certain amount of sympathy as a pastime.
Responding to her declaration, without catering to her apparent suffering - I asked Mrs. Jones, with flippant intent - if she was certain of these accusations? She responded in such a way that caught me off guard, discerning my seemingly smug inquisitions. No - Mr. Gray, as she acknowledged my devilish intent, I'm not sure my husband is having an affair. Her voice tone betrayed a mounting anger behind a seemingly controlled disposition. I've lived with my husband for over twenty years and I know when something isn't right, she explained. By all accounts, her outburst wasn't the typical response of a woman who only benefited from someone examining their husbands every movement. No, she had the emotional baggage of a woman who lay awake until the night transformed into morning. She was scorned with dimmenshing disappointment as a soul can only absorb so much pain - the body becomes insensate.
