Elaine Carter made the decision that her view of life and marriage was more appropriate than her husbandβs. Oh, she loved her husband without question, or reservation, but she decided her stepping outside her marriage vows was a minor bump in the road, and should not impact her relationship with her husband. It was, after all, only sex. The tawdry nature of the extramarital sex was irrelevant as far as Elaine was concerned. Jack was hers, and always would be. That was just a fact of life as Elaine viewed life.
Jack Carter, however, did not play that game. And, Jack⦠well, his response was to nuke the planet to ash. That response should have been expected by one and all. It was, after all, who Jack was.
Naturally, everyone in Jack and Elaineβs life took sidesβ¦ and those siding with Elaine also suffered Jackβs wrathβ¦ because Jack was not one to ignore, or forgive, an offense. Ever.
The fallout from Jackβs response not only left him with a divorce and gobs of money, but a transfer to an out-of-the-way office filled with less than stellar co-workers who wanted nothing to do with him. When Jack splattered the world around him, he splattered in a major way. He arrived at that office without expectation other than to pursue the job he loved β even if he did so alone.
Jackβs world was then turned on its ear, and things would never again be the same for him. Some of those he left behind, and some completely unknown to him, wanted Jackβs head in a basket. He knew they were there in the shadows, but they were very wrong to think he would ignore them. Jack was Jack, and he played by his own rules. Yet, new arrivals in his life had their own agenda... and that agenda was more than Jack could comprehend.
His life went from seriously trashed, to seriously... weird.
Still, Jack was Jack. That meant more than any crap coming his way... didn't it?
