Chapter 2 of Sally’s Distrust ~Story for Workshop


Chapter 2

Greenport NY, a town where fresh air does wonder for the appetite, no smog, no pollutions and the only thing you carry to school is your lunch.
Greenport extends its arms out to Gardiners Bay and the Atlantic Ocean, which offers sailing, swimming, boating, and fishing. 
Sally’s dad was a designer of sailboats, and his love for sailing won him many sailing contests. 
On Sundays, John’s dad would close his hardware store so he could go fishing on his sizable fishing boat.

Mr. Smith was a man of leisure and he enjoyed his luxury yacht, this was Billy’s dad.

So, as you can see many hours were spent at Gardiners Bay or on the Atlantic Ocean, where 
Sally, Billy, and John grew-up.
Billy was the number one quarterback at Greenport High School and their team was the number one football team in the state. 
Sally had been a cheerleader from the time she could walk and was always cheering for Billy. John was a reporter for the high school newspaper.
To get his foot in the door at Suffolk Times John would get up early every morning to deliver their newspapers, for he thought he wanted to be a reporter. However, that was not to be!
Where had all the years gone thought John as he listens to Sally on the telephone.
Sally was not a gossip but like to know what was going on in her hometown. 

Sally received a scholarship to study at Harvard in Cambridge Ma, where she received her Ph.D. in Education and where she went on to teach History.

Sally had married Billy while they were at Harvard.
After Billy passed the bar exam he started his own law firm in Cambridge and he and Sally started a family, two boys Sam, & Thomas.
The next twelve flew by and everyone was happy.
One the day Billy received a telephone call offering him a partnership at Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz the most prestigious law firms in New York City.
Billy accepted without asking Sally. Sally was upset!
Billy commuted back and forth for many years from Cambridge to New York City.
There was many parties, long hours and many nights no coming home and these were the times that Sally called John.

John really enjoyed talking to Sally but hated the sound of her voice as she talked about Billy. John started getting a bitter taste for Billy’s lifestyle. Was this when the cloud appeared or was John secretly in love with Sally?
