35. sharing the burden

━━━━━━━━

"..."

"Too much information?"

"No... just that last line... sounded weirdly familiar."

"Oh? Where from?"

"I— I'm not sure. Anyways, have you tried to make amends with her since you married Mr. Taylors?"

"Oh, Nico, if only it were so simple."

"What do you mean?"

"I was just starting to mend our relationship. I'd tell her about my clients—"

"That's quite illegal, Mrs. Taylors."

"Well... as my daughter says: yoo-loo?"

"For the love of God, please never say that again."

"I thought you were an atheist?"

"I switch according to levels of desperation. It's why I still pray before a test."

"We'd talk about our day, I'd pester her to get a boyfriend and such... but we hit a bump."

"You and your daughter?"

"No, rather Mr. Taylors and I."

"Oh. I might know a little about that."

"You? How could you possibly know?"

"This is a bit awkward."

"How so?"

"Mr. Taylors... cheated on you, didn't he?"

"How... how could you—?"

"I'd rather not say, if you don't mind."

"Why not?"

"I'd hate myself if I hurt you."

"I care about you, too, Nico. You're like the hormonal teenage son I never had. But this is still my burden to bear."

"...Mr. Taylors cheated on you with my now ex-girlfriend."

"He what?! I can never catch a damn break..."

"Yeah, I kinda lied about it being my uncle."

"No... no! Does that mean that Jenny's baby is...?"

"Not my uncle's, but your husband's. I am so sorry, Mrs. Taylors. I hate that I have to be the one to tell you all this shit. You don't deserve any of this."

"I can't believe..."

"I'm here to share the burden with you. At least we have this in common, the fact that your husband and my ex cheated on us with each other."

"There's another coincidence I should probably tell you."

"What is it?"

"Vanessa is my daughter."
