A few days later, after his appointment with the hypnotist, Tom came home with a new – found energy.
He practically burst through the door, ripped off his clothes in a hurry, and then scooped Sarah up in his arms. He carried her into the bedroom, gently placed her on the bed, and said,
“Stay put, I’ll be right back.”
He dashed into the bathroom. A few minutes later, he emerged and jumped into bed, making love to Sarah with a passion she hadn’t felt in ages. Sarah was ecstatic.
“Wow! That was incredible!”
she gasped.
Tom just grinned and said,
“Don’t move! I’ll be back in a jiffy.”
He disappeared into the bathroom again. When he returned, the second round was even more amazing than the first. Sarah was left breathless, her head spinning with delight.
But when Tom said,
“Don’t move, I’ll be right back”
for the third time and headed to the bathroom, Sarah’s curiosity got the better of her.
She quietly slipped out of bed and followed him.
To her shock, she found Tom standing in front of the mirror, repeating over and over,
“She’s not my wife. She’s not my wife. She’s not my wife.”
