I have no doubt she loves her husband and daughter, but Bill is her partner, not her lover.
I once had a proposition from a friend in the navy. I had a tubal pregnancy, and the doctor said the damage was too extensive for me to have a baby. My friend suggested we get married. Gay couples could not adopt, so he thought if we married, it would be a chance for both of us to have children. It was a given we would both date whomever we wanted.
Lots of gay men in the navy were getting married to cover.
I loved him, but I was too crushed over losing baby and husband to consider any relationship at the time.
I wish I would have.
Billery was the perfect political partnership. He was charismatic, she had the stamina and killer instinct. Women couldn’t get far in politics back then. He was her tool. Open relationship.
She was too ambitious for her chosen role. She started doing naughty stuff, because she could. If she had been elected instead of Bill, she might have done well, and maybe kept busy enough to stay out of trouble.
That Flowers woman claimed she had been involved with Bill for twelve years. You can’t convince me Hillery didn’t have a clue.
Rock?
Hillery is stone cold, but if she has a discreet lady, I bet that rock boils and turns molten.
