Leave Her

"So where did you end things?" KSL asked her.  "He told me that I had his work phone now and could call him during work hours.  I'm not sure if I'm going to though."

"Oh yeah, why is that?" KSL seemed pretty interested in what the answer might be, but rehearsal was starting and she needed to make it quick.

"Because...I think he wanted me to tell him to leave her."  She replied.  She didn't want to be responsible for the end of a marriage that had a child on the way.  She remembered Favorite Mistake saying to her "I don't think this is what marriage is supposed to be." She told him she didn't think this was how it was supposed to go either.  It was a dangerous road, to continue to speak with him even though it might mean the end of his marriage.  Again, as Sleuthy friend had pointed out to her, she wasn't making him DO anything.  The blame wasn't to be put on her.

"Awwww, it's so hard being Penny!" KSL chided her as he got up to go onstage.  Sometimes he made her want to just stick out her tongue at him, though they were far too old for such things.  Later during a break he helped her plug in her phone and made gently made fun of her again, while looping his arm around her waist.  He left it there for a little too long to be considered playful.

Was it the fact that she could break up a marriage making her more attractive to him?  It was a weird thought that she couldn't exactly shake off.
