The Story About Linda
I watched the scene of the wife telling the story of Thomas and Linda dying in the car accident and why the Adaline became upset. Maybe, just maybe she and Thomas did have an affair and that flashback to the car was not just the wife's imagination putting her (Adaline) there but she really was in a car on a ride with Thomas because they had an affair and she (Adaline) got upset because she thought those poems were about her and they weren't. The reason I say that is because in the flashback he is playing with the cross on her neck meanwhile the wife is quoting the poem and which says something about a "cross at her neck is like a shield to my sword" or something like that. Adaline is playing with her cross at the same time and the wife, looks at the cross, continues the poem sadly, and has tears in her eyes. When Adaline somewhat angrily asks her why she (the wife) tells her that story, the wife responds, "Didn't you want to know" rather archly like she wanted to tell her, you think the poems were about you, but they aren't. They are about another that my husband loved, not you and that he can't forget.
