Eric felt sorry for her, though he himself wasn't much better than her husband. He himself had been the type to run around, to seek comfort in just about any warm willing hole he found. But he hadn't really made a commitment to another woman. Not the way her husband had anyway. Yes, he'd known love and had lost it. But that situation was very different from hers. So he remained quiet, accepting her confession about her ruined marriage without judgement. He knew there was No excuse for treating a woman like he did. But at the same time there were always two sides to every story. However he could imagine that her husband was simply an ass that found a beautiful woman and married her out of convenience. It was easier to think of him that way.<br/><br/>Once she fell asleep Eric remained awake and read until sleep finally took him. Just as every other night it was a restless sleep that left him wanting some release from the memories that poured into his subconscious mind while he slept. But morning came quickly and the sunlight poured through the crack between the curtains and landed on his face. Silently he woke, remembering the events of the night prior. He didn't want to wake her, but knew that she needed to if she was going to get a jump on her husband. He figured that they had joint accounts, and it stood to reason that if he canceled her cards then he would likely remove her name from those accounts should he get to the banks before her. So he put on a pot of coffee and gently nudged her awake.<br/><br/>While it was still too early for the banks to be open he knew that she would require breakfast in order to strengthen her weary battered body. "Hey babe. Might wanna wake up. Gonna be a busy day." He said after he nudge her and walked away from the bed to gather some items.
