“Do you want me to?”
Ez’s expression remained flat. “I guess not.”
“Then I won’t.”
I lifted my phone which I shoved in my front pocket and the key to my bike and wallet which I placed in my back pocket. I didn’t look at my brother but he was still watching me.
“Did you tell her?”
Cress…
“Yes.”
“And?”
“I told her everything, tried to get her to bail. She refused.”
“And you don’t feel like you should be the one to walk away if she refuses to?”
I crossed the room to leave, stopping right in front of my brother. “You wanted this, I’m giving it to you. Now you want me to fall back? You can’t have both, which is it, Ez?”
“I want you to be okay. Last night you were not okay. You told me you were good. If you’re not…”
“I am.”
“Then what the fuck happened…”
She happened.
“How many times have you known me to care about a woman?”
“Never.”
“How many times have you ever known me to be emotionally invested in anyone or anything other than you?”
“Never.”
“That’s what the fuck happened.”
I care about her.
I’m emotionally invested in her.
“If that’s truly the case then I have to ask you again, do you think this is a good idea?”
“No, but it's what she wants.”What I want good, bad, or indifferent.“So, I’m giving it to her.”
He exhaled, relaxing his stance. “I’m worried.”
I smirked. “You should be.”
“This isn’t a fucking joke. I’m seriously worried.”
“Good because so am I.”
I stepped away and something occurred to me so I stopped. “Your wife is cheating on you.”
“I know she is, but how do you know?”
