the not so quick visit

i met up with a friend who was supposedly on a quick visit to town to pick up her dog - she moved to China in August but had left the dog here to be able to settle in more easily. but it took her less than a minute to explain that although she didn't know exactly how long she'd be staying, she wasn't going back to China. she'd found out that her husband had been cheating on her the whole year he'd been stationed over there - a string of one-night stands and an affair. i didn't know what to say. what can you say?
