The One That Got Away

"Are you still with him?"

"Yes. Why."

"He's just so... arrogant. I never treated you like that."

"I know. But he's my husband, and you'll just have to deal with it."

"You know, sometimes I think you married into my group just to hurt me. You know he doesn't really care for you."

"THAT'S NOT TRUE!"

"Yes it is. You know your best friend, his girl in high school?"

"Alex?"


"Yeah."

"What about her?"

"He's still not over her. I think he kind of uses you as a way to look in a mirror and still see himself with her."

"What's that got to do with us?"

" 'US'? Since when were we 'US'?"

"Since right now."

"Um... what am I supposed to say?"

"You can kiss me, if you like"

"I've never seen this side of you before"

"You weren't looking for it."
