Behind Closed Doors

Chapter 22

Brian opened his eyes and looked over at Sasha. "I'm sorry Sawsh." He said placing his hand on her knee. "I shouldn't have dragged you into this."

"No Brian!" She replied placing her hand over his. "I'm really glad you trusted me enough to confide in me." She lifted his hand from her knee and laced her fingers to his palm to palm. She squeezed his hand tightly. "I just feel so badly. I had no idea this was going on! I…I…I don't know what to say."

"You had no way of knowing Sasha!" Brian shook his head. "Leighanne has been out of town with projects so we haven't really been out together in a long time and even then the kids were usually with us as a distraction." He gave her hand a squeeze back. "Unless you lived in this house and knew that whenever she was home, I slept in the guest room, you had no way of knowing what was happening."

Sasha's mouth fell open. She closed it quickly, hoping Brian didn't notice. 'I don't think now is the time to tell him about Tyler.' She thought silently. 'I'll tell him tomorrow. After he has had a chance to regroup himself.'

"Is something wrong Sasha?"

"Um…no. Sorry. I was just lost in thought for a minute." She hoped he believed her. "So, where is Leighanne? Is she really in… Wait. You said 'still having an affair.' Is she with Mike?"
