Wide awake

I'm wide awake wondering what to blog! I've often fancied writing a book but Im more geared towards short stories. So here goes and I make no apologies for what might develop!
The Mistress:

She couldn't believe it as the car slowed down and the door opened. Catching her breath as her heart missed a beat when his deep, dark voice spoke. Yes she would like a lift, the bus stop across town would be fine! 
Jayne new this man but there had only ever been courteous exchanges in passing and she could never have hoped for more! The bus stop went by as Charles said that he would take her to work!
A few days passed and again this time going to drop her child at school first! He was happy to be seen with her! This was a small town and everybody knew each other!
A few days later he phoned her saying he'd had to have some 'Dutch courage'. 
A date, he'd asked her on a date! 
In town the next day Jayne spoke to a close friend to hear the bombshell, he was married! Her head was in a spin. Why was she not surprised, why should she find happiness! 
Reluctantly she called him to say she could never be the 'other woman'. 
Jayne couldn't understand, she had seen him many times, in his shop, at social events, in the street and never with anybody! She had to know more! She had to be discreet! 
Friends said they didn't think he was married one even thought he lived with his mother! Then a couple said he was married but they lived separate lives and only ever went to certain functions together when it was deemed appropriate for a businessman! 
Jayne was totally confused and wondered if she could encompass the guilt knowing what she knew!
