“We had sex. Got it? That’s what you want me to say? Katy and I hooked up for a little while earlier last year. But it didn’t last very long. We both realized pretty quickly it was a bad idea.”
“So Katy Loomis, in essence, cheated on you with Tom. Then turned around and cheated on Tom with you.”
“You asking me a question?” Joe asked before Jeanie could even get to her feet.
“Katy was married to Tom while you and she started having sex again, right?”
“She was married to Tom. Yes.”
“But you say this was a brief liaison. How brief?”
“What do you mean?”
“I mean,” Addison said. “How many times did you have sex with Katy while she was married to Tom?”
“Objection,” Jeanie said, exasperated.
“Sustained,” Castor said without even letting Addison respond.
“All right,” Addison said. “To your knowledge, did Tom Loomis ever become aware of the fact that Katy committed adultery with you?”
“Yes.”
“How did he become aware?”
“It’s my understanding that Katy told him.”
“How did you come to understand that?”
“Tom confronted me.”
“What happened during that confrontation?”
“A lot of shouting. But by the time he came to me, Katy and I had already put a stop to it.”
“But he threw her out, didn’t he?”
“What?”
“Tom kicked Katy out of his home because of you, didn’t he?”
Joe shook his head. “I’m not in on what Katy and Tom talked about with each other.”
“But she stayed with you for a while during her marriage, didn’t she?”
“For a weekend, yes,” he said. “Just so Tom could cool off.”
“Wow,” Addison said. “So he could cool off. She cheats on him with you. You end it. Tom confronts you. Then you just open your door to her and let her move in.”
“Is there a question in there?” Jeanie asked.
“Did Katy go back to Tom?”
“Yes. They got back together and worked it out. Katy and I were through.”
“Through? What do you mean, through? You just said you can never end things with Katy because of your daughter.”
“I mean in terms of Katy and me. Of there being a Katy and me. It was over. We weren’t talking.”
