“So be mad, stomp around the house, and don’t talk to me for days. At this point in time, I really don’t care, Emily.”
“Yeah, and do you see where that love has gotten me? But do you? I am childless and wombless. Half my life gone, waiting for you to make me first.”
“Hey, baby, you needing a drink?” She straddles me as she drags her nails down my bare chest. “Or are you ready for the next round?” Megan leans in to kiss my dry lips."
"When Megan and I had found out she was pregnant, it’d kinda been more than bittersweet for me. There was only one woman I wanted to have my child, and it wasn’t the strung out junkie I’d been fucking for the past year."
“That’s rich coming from an alcoholic whore.” It feel like he’s shoved a knife through my heart, and my immediate reaction is to slap him"
"We’d gotten married without anyone knowing. We never even told my parents. I’m not sure why, but I think we’d been caught up in the fact it was ours, that little fact about our lives truly belonged to just us."
"You have to consider that she’s made some wrong decisions, just as you have, but your decisions are in her face, always to be constant reminders of you having a child with another woman where she can’t have any. You moved that trash into a home that belonged to you and Emily, the house she was going to bring her baby boy home to."
"He’s moved on in a way, when he and Megan had gotten together and had Caden, and I think that’s still my big hang up. Oh, and the fact that he’d let that whore parade around town telling everyone they had gotten married. Yeah, still not over it.
"She finds out I’ve been a man-whore since she’s been gone, I doubt she’d give me the time of day again. I close my eyes and go back over the conversation yesterday morning. I was the one who called her a whore, It wasn’t true, and I knew it. I’d been deflecting my own insecurities on her about how I had acted. "
“Cal, if it makes you feel better to call me a whore, then fine. You go ahead and do that. You saying that and acting like this just proves my point.”
