I lean closer to the screen.

Please let her be married.

Please don’t do this to me.

Jacob: Divorced.

Jacob: Just like you’re going to be.

Disappointment.

Disappointment in myself, like I’ve never felt before, washes over me.

It sucks the air from my lungs.

Fills my soul with wet, heavy concrete.

Luke: You’re the dick.

Jacob: Have you told her?

Luke: Not yet.

Jacob: Waiting is only going to make it harder.

Luke: I know.

Luke: I’ll tell her soon.

Luke: …

I grip the lid of the laptop and snap it shut.

Waiting is only going to make it harder.

I set the computer back on the coffee table.

Divorced.

Just like you’re going to be.

That sick feeling intensifies.

I bend forward, and my vision blurs.

Mistake.

I feel so stupid.

So incredibly stupid.

My fingers tremble against the armrest as I push myself up to stand.

I can’t believe I was such a fool.

This was never going to work.

I try not to blink.
