something was coming to an end

so, my boss (aka the film curator) came into this town about 1,5 years ago and was kind of alone with her big ideas and her ~intellectuality~ but this one guy she vibed with quite well: he's the local pastor, not too church-y, former literary scholar, i believe. Likes to sail, has (i have to admit) pretty light grey and very intense but nice eyes. (Is 20+ years her senior but hey ho.) they can talk about films, they can talk about culture, she programmes films he suggests, he does favours like showing off his church to our guests while it's being renovated and no one can normally enter.

yes, they vibed very much. yes, she has a flirty nature and is outrageously charming as well as gorgeous (i did not say that, she's my boss). but he's a married pastor, right?

Then, at the end of last year/ beginning of this year something shifts. It takes me some time (obviously my boss doesn't spill the whole story) to catch up but it's about the pastor's wife. She mad. This is the point where I realise that something miiight have been going on between the two. I will probably never know for sure what happened. But he is not supposed to be in contact with her anymore. there where instances where he didn't took part in meetings (there is an overlap with an event we organised together/ were supposed to organise together) and she was visibly upset. Like close to tears. Which really shocked me in these moments. at the day of the event he 'had to be' out of town for a dogy reason.

One time, he was on vacation on his own and they scheduled a call. She was stressing about it while we where still in the office together. She started the call while leaving and i’ve never heard her voice sound so gentle. Like. There is feelings involved. She also did a radio interview and the radio guy told us that some people requested the recording from the archive–on of them a pastor. He wanted to hear her voice. i cannot.

In two instances, the wife harassed my boss in public. I wasn't present both times but she was physically cornered by her and threw insults at her. pastor knows about both instances. atm, he seems to be retreating from positions where there might be an overlap with our work/ my boss. seems to be 100% doing the wifes bidding.
