It was an inevitable circumstance that Julie would find out about Benny’s philandering. They shared too many “friends”. She worried that she might not find a better man, but decided that Benny was not good enough for the long haul. Her mother supported the decision. Julie packed her essentials and left Benny a short note wishing him a life full of broken dreams and hard-to-cure STDs.
