Affairinrealtime: Busy

Almost four years ago, I fell in love for the first time--twenty-five years too late--and began an affair. Over the years, Kevin and I have met several times a week and email several times a day. I have kept almost all of the emails that I sent to him and that he sent to me. Along the way, there has been laughter and tenderness and heat...and heartache.

This blog is the posting of our daily emails. It chronicles the lives of two people over a four year period so far, and tells the story of our burgeoning love against the backdrop of New York City.

The names and addresses have been changed to protect the innocent; the rest is 100% real.

The daily update structure helps keep the blog as authentic as possible as well as living up to its title. It also strives to provide the reader with the kind of pleasure that a soap opera offers--a daily dose of voyeuristic fun.

Please begin at the beginning, otherwise, little will make sense.

Enjoy.

Hello Gorgeous:

It’s going to be a busy day. I have three back to back meetings. My mom is arriving tonight.

I can’t wait until tomorrow. It’s going to be awesome.

What do you have planned for today?

Hello my love:

I’m going to be at PA meetings all day. I have two interviews and have to take pictures of the PA officers for our first issue of the year.

I’ll check in later night.

I love you. I want to taste you so badly.

XOXOXOXOXO

It’s been the longest day in history. I’ll tell you all about it tomorrow. What time are we meeting? Did you find a tequila bar near your office? If not yet, I can look too. I don’t really care where we go as long as I get to be with you.

Goodnight my love.

XOXOXO

HFG

CLAUDIA BONN

As the ghosts of our marriages lingered, we saw the bird of youth already on the wing. So, we let that spring pour sweet warmth over our souls and quicken our pulse with primordial promise. It's only apt that our story should begin in spring.

Kevin and I met in May, 2012 through Ashley Madison. While my profile was on the site, several writers and producers approached me, asking to interview me for their vague condescending pieces meant to goose "sense of propriety" as opposed to deliver any real insight into life or love. Obviously, I turned them all down.

This story belongs to Kevin and me... and now to you.
