Sometimes I think it would’ve been easier if he had just slept with her.
At least I wouldn’t have to wonder if he thought about her firm body, her ample breasts or her dazzling smile every time he wrapped me in his embrace. Then it would be over between us. I could move on and pick up the pieces of my shattered life. Fitting them back together in one that doesn’t include him.
I have tried on many occasions to put our life back together. But she’s always there in the background. Lurking about like a hungry lion waiting to pounce on its prey. I know she’s there. I can feel her presence even though I don’t see her. All I want to do is ask her…no, plead with her…to leave us alone.

I use Lumedynes and find them extremely valuable in there small size and ability to put them anywhere and have 400-800ws with only one booster on and ac adapters and modeling lights when needed. I use Canon Speedlights and think highly of the E-TTL system when one learns to use it effici
