Epilogue
After those glorious, hedonistic couple of weeks, life returned to its normal work, eat, sleep routine. I’d like to say that the experience was life-changing for Laura, but she quickly dropped back into her old, unfulfilling ways and we barely discussed what happened with Donna. She was a good mother and good nurse, but not much of a wife, if I’m honest. She was certainly not going to turn into ‘another Donna’ and was never going to regularly give me the mind-blowing sex I’d enjoyed with her during that brief time.
Pete and Donna did get divorced and went their separate ways. They really were like chalk and cheese, so it was never going to work out for them long term.
I did sometimes wonder if maybe Donna and I should have tried to make a go of it as a couple, but I think we both knew it was just an experience which fulfilled mutual lust, without any real basis for a solid relationship.
But I learned something. Those kinds of brief relationships can be the absolute best. Two people getting together on a single plane of mutual attraction, at just the right moment in time, without all the boring stuff, like washing socks and paying the gas bill.
Which is why, a number of years later, I thought it would be fun to see if I could track Donna down and get in touch.
