A Mistaken Midnight Kiss

Last night at work, I was pouring drinks when a new customer came in who looked oddly familiar. As we talked, it turned out he had been someone I had a brief fling with years ago before my marriage. We both kept things light and professional. But after closing up late and being alone for a moment, I found myself walking him to his car outside. The moon was full and the night air felt charged between us. Before either of us could think straight, we leaned in and kissed. It wasn't much, just a lingering touch of lips that sent sparks through my body. Yet as soon as it happened, guilt hit me hard. I know I shouldn’t even entertain thoughts like this anymore, let alone act on them. This is something I need to keep from my wife.
