Classic Shorts: Eight Stories for Summer - "A Respectable Woman": A Respectable Ending?
I like not knowing as well.
However, the kiss in the end gave me a different indication as to how the story ended. The story mentions that her husband is her friend and granted she "battles alone," but there is a tone about the entire story that disdains disloyalty. At any rate the kiss in the end is not a surrender but a refocus on her husband and her affections for him.
