Dennis was in the same unit as me & BG. There was something about him that caught my eye. he was very quiet. It intrigued me to get to know him.
I started making him food and taking it to the barracks. BG did not think it was odd because I was always making food for the soldiers in the barracks.
It did not end at just making him food. Once BG left for a military school. I started spending more time with Dennis. I felt like Dennis was filling the void that I felt I had with BG.
I knew that even hanging out with Dennis was cheating on BG. But I justified that Dennis cared for me like BG did not.
I soon found myself filing for divorce from BG long distance. And not feeling like I had a regret. But deep down I knew that I was running from my past and justifying that I was “happy” At the time I felt like I was more happy with Dennis than with BG. I now realize I just convinced myself that it was true. It would take me a long to realize the truth.
In the beginning, me and Dennis had some great times. He took me dress shopping and bought me like 3 dresses. I felt like a queen. We drove 2 hours away to have a weekend to ourselves. We had picnics behind the post movie theater. Those great times began to diminish and walking on pins & needles would be my new normal. Drama Quaide would be the next decade in my life.
