• The phone slipped from my grip but I could care less what happened to it. There was no coming back from this. There might have been a glimmer of hope if I was some famous celebrity who could flip over scandals with one press conference, but I wasn’t.

• Even being there, I almost believed what the story sold. I was a two timer, who chased after another man for his morning whilst still being married to the most sort after bachelor in town. The oversized shirt and free cargo pants, the way I leaned away, like I was trying to create space for the trays of junk food.
