What two people? Ian, what the fuck is going on? Just
say it.

I can’t keep hurting her. She’s my wife.
His words stung me to tears, the tears I should’ve started crying hours ago.
TO: IAN DUPREE
TIME: 11:05pm
Then who am I? Are you hurting me?
The woman you said you loved?
FROM: IAN DUPREE
TIME: 11:06pm
Don’t do that. This is hard for me. I didn’t mean to
hurt anyone. Maybe I was just being selfish. I made a
mistake.
TO: IAN DUPREE
TIME: 11:08pm
You said you were sure.
TO: IAN DUPREE
TIME: 11:15pm
You said you loved me. I can’t believe this.
FROM: IAN DUPREE
TIME: 11:50pm
We’re having a baby. She just told me today. We’ve
been at the house talking. We’re going to try to work
it out. We have to.
I felt flattened. Beat by age-old wisdom. Ian was my best friend. But he was also someone else’s husband. And now he was acting like it.
