Deacon Roth was a man who loved plans. Plans enabled a person to know where they wanted things to end up.
As such, when he'd come up with a plan to keep things between him and Haley as normal as possible, while he tried to decide what exactly he was going to do with liking her. He had felt confident in himself. Thinking that there was no way being the same as he had always been with her would come back to bite him. But, as with most things when it came to his wife. His simple plan had come back to bite him in a way that Deacon had not seen coming at all.
Instead of things between them remaining as they were, things had somehow become…amplified.
