G said on several occasions, 'I don't want to hurt you; I don't want to hurt anyone'. G had always been so careful to delete the few texts. The last one ended the affair. He was so damned cocky that he would never be found out. He lied of course; told her that it was sent in error to the wrong number. The last time I spoke with him he said the atmosphere at home was 'frosty'. I sincerely hope it has thawed now.
