Jesus, I’m sorry about that.

I know it makes me a bad person, but I don’t know that I’m all that sorry.

I don’t understand.

Spending all those years locked up, knowing he was on the outside doing every awful thing made me realize that I didn’t really have any control of the situation with him.

We all kid ourselves that we have more control than we really do in life.

I guess it was just a matter of time before his evil circled back around to put the smack down on him.

You believe in karma?

There was a brief pause before the words began pouring out.

No. If we all got what we really deserved, my brother would have been in jail instead of me and that girl would have been safe.

You must have looked a lot like your brother for them to accept that it was you on the video feed.

We were twins.

Were you identical twins?

I don’t like that word. It implies we’re the same on the inside as well as outside. I was never anything like my brother. I only wish I’d realized that sooner.

I’m sure you did what you thought was right at the time.

I was too blind to see what he was capable of.

People have a way of getting over on us, no matter how smart we are.

You sound like someone who knows.

My husband cheated on me repeatedly. Each time, I believed him when he said it was the last.

I always pitied the poor stupid bastard for preferring whores over his own wife.

What do you know about it?

Dr. David Reynolds is an asshat. His father’s been on our club’s payroll since he moved to this town over fifty years ago.

You grew up with him?

He’s been a skirt chaser since he learned he had a willy.

It took me an minute to figure that out. I honestly thought he loved me.

David loves himself, always has and always will.

I like how you’re so plain spoken. All the beating around the bush that most men do is mentally exhausting.

Decent people appreciate honesty. Don’t let your messed-up ex make you feel bad about yourself.

I know that I’m nothing special but I don’t think I deserved to be cheated on.

It’s nothing to do with you. David was brought up with every advantage imaginable and he’s pissed it all away.

He always seemed so together that it was a little unnerving.
