A: Again, thanks for letting me stay with you. And thanks for being a friend, Jacques.

J: Don’t mention it. Anyway, you gotta get back to that husband of yours. Guess I’ll see you at the next dinner club.

A: Of course, see you around.

They continued to talk over their desserts, Gavin apologizing repeatedly for the way he acted before Athena left, he admitted that he had been a bit controlling, and even though she already said yes, he begged her over and over to move back home.

A: Alright, I admit it. Jacques was a bit more than a friend…

G: Was?

A: I broke it off with him. I knew we couldn’t make this work if I was still seeing him.

G: That’s very mature of you, Athena. But tell me one thing…why did you start seeing him in the first place?

A: Oh Gavin, I was so lonely at home. With you gone at work, I just…Jacques made me feel appreciated and special. Not that you didn’t either, I was just nice to hear from someone…

G: …I’m so sorry Athena. I promise, I’ll start working more around the house and stuff…just, please come home.
