32. the wife, the therapist, and the mother

━━━━━━━━

"So, Nico, how've you been?"

"Pretty fucking shitty, Mrs. Taylors, I'm not gonna lie to to you."

"Well, if you lied to me, it would defeat the purpose of you being here."

"It's her."

"Her? Ahh... the girl you met online?"

"Yeah, about that... I've been lying to you."

"Oh, the irony."

"I didn't meet her online, I met her on a payphone."

"You mean in a payphone booth?"

"No."

"Next to a payphone booth?"

"No."

"Any area near or relevant to a specific payphone or booth in which said payphone resides?"

"No."

"Just tell me."

"Yeah, that's a respectful no. This is fun."

"Alright fine, one more try... you dialed the wrong number? That sounds straight out of a romantic novel."

"... close enough. Sure."

"And why is this girl causing you to feel so down? As far as I know, you two were pretty into each other."

"I was into her. I'm pretty sure she hates me."

"And why is that?"

"To quote her?"

"Sure, if it helps keep the dementia away."

"She might hate me because I pretended to forget indirectly telling her I liked her, only for her to tell me that my ex-girlfriend is pregnant with my Eng— uh... my uncle's baby, which would only be mediocre fucked up, except that I then proceeded to tell the girl I confessed my feelings to that I wished I was the father of my cheating ex's illegitimate child."

"What... What the fuck?"

"Woah!"

"Oh my god... I am so sorry! I didn't mean to curse, I just... I don't think I've ever heard a reason quite like that one."

"You're telling me."

"Just to double check, the girl you met on the payphone told you your ex-girlfriend was pregnant?"

"Yep."

"With... with your uncle's baby?"

"Affirmative."

"..."

"Did you just gag?"

"Can you blame me?"

"Not really."

"How did she know?"

"Who?"

"How did the girl on the payphone know your ex-girlfriend was pregnant?"

"She is... was my ex-girlfriend's best friend."

"..."

"Speechless?"

"Like never before."
