Fuming, I yell, “She’s married!”
Faltering, I repeat, “She’s married.”
I fall back into the chair by the window with my elbows on my knees. I throw my Sharks flat bill hat on the floor. My hands form a tent over my nose and mouth. I rub them up and down several times before I can no longer hold back the tears from falling. “I loved her, Jay. Iloveher.”
“I know, Tack. I know.”
I use my thumb to wipe away the waterfall. I’m Tackett Towles and I’m not reducing myself to pity.
My phone dings with a notification.
Harper:I’ll listen. No judgements here.
Me:Thanks…
Harper:Hagan and I talked with her and she’s a mess.
Me:Good.
Harper:She can get a divorce you know. She wouldn’t be the first.
Me:Her business Harp, not mine. Not anymore.
Harper:Hagan said you aren’t returning his calls.
Me:Perfect timing for him.
Harper:He’s your friend. He doesn’t want her in that way. He wants you and Talynn together.
Me:That’s not happening.
Harper:Hagan and I are coming.
Me:Where does Megan stand on this?
Harper:I don’t speak for others. See ya Friday.
Me:See ya.
For some reason, I feel like talking to the whole world. Jayson asks, “Who are you texting?”
“Harper, but now I’m texting Megan.”
Me:Archer is going to the apartment to get ALL my belongings.
It takes a few minutes for her to respond.
Megan:Tackett, don’t do this.
Me:It’s obvious where you stand.
Megan:I’m going to ask you for one favor. Listen to her. Then make a decision.
Why don’t these extremely smart people, realize Talynn is married?
Me:I’m asking for a trade, tell Archer.
Immediately, my phone starts ringing and I turn it off. I assume it’s Archer, I don’t check.
