He stuck to his story.
In the time that I knew him, he never, ever changed his story midstream.
I hung up on him and called his family's house in Westchester.
When the maid answered the phone, I asked to speak with Mr. Klein.
And when he picked up the extension and I heard his rough, craggy hello, I screamed so hard into his ear that he dropped the receiver.
He raced into the city.
He let himself into my apartment and found me curled up in bed.
He scooped me up and held me to his chest.
His wife wasn't home, he told me.
She was having shock treatment, and someone had to take care of his daughter.
He hadn't wanted to tell me because he'd wanted to spare me, to protect me from the horror of his life.
Surely I understood.
Shush, sweetheart, he murmured into the top of my head as I wept, my face beet red like a little girl's.
So many people need me, he said, but I love you best of all.
Two years have passed and something has gone wrong, terribly wrong with my life.
I don't in fact think of my life as my life, but rather as a series of random events that have no logical connection.
I am no longer a student.
I dropped out of Sarah Lawrence after my junior year, supposedly to pursue acting.
And I'm actually doing a pretty good imitation of an actress.
But I'm doing an even better imitation of a mistress.
