What's up sweetheart?

Well, my life since we talked last in about two seconds?

Spent a whole lot of money, donated a whole lot of money, gave away a whole lot of money. Moved to New York, lost my virginity, and now I'm pregnant. Just like that. My life is over!

Not over exactly though. I'm not planning anything drastic. It's just a lot to deal with.

Is stunned even if he had his suspicions already. I'm sorry baby.

My life hasn't been much easier of late.

Tell me about your life...

So I don't have to think about mine.

My wife went home.

You didn't go with her?

I couldn't for the same reason she couldn't stay.

Descriptive.

I'm sorry Papa.

She's from Ancient Greece. Her time isn't mine and this sure the hell isn't hers. Shrugs. It was the right thing to do, not the easy one though.

Are you going to see her ever?

I don't know.

Is there anything that I can do for you?

Not really. Shame everything got fucked for both of us since the last time we talked.

It is. And now we're both alone. Yay!

Technically, I'm a happily married man whose wife has taken a leave of absence for God knows how lone, who has a pretty, young girl that he's finding hard to ignore but that ain't much better than being alone really in a lot of ways.

That's a much better way of looking at things.

Yeah until you factor in the heartache, guilt, uncertainty and my daughter's nonsense. Then it's a piece of shit like any other way.

I'm sorry you're hurting.

Guilt's the worse. I got this girl interested in me. I told my wife she had free reign. Shitty thing is I never asked about me. I don't knwow hen she'll be back or what she expects. Makes it hard.

You can't get ahold of her at all? Your wife? I don't know what to say, since you seemed so in love. And now there's another girl. You like her? Just for fun? I mean if you want it, you should go for it.

I wrote to Xena on Valentine's day but I haven't heard anything back yet. I still do love my wife. She's a friend of mine but we've gotten closer since I've been dealing with my wife leaving.

Your wife left. She can't expect you to be able to cling to her without anything.

No, I told her she could go. She wanted to go home because it is hard on her here. I gave her the choice.

But she made it. You know, it's just not natural for guys to go long without company. Still, if anyone could that I'd met, I'd think it to be you.

That's true on both counts baby. There's a part of me that wants to go out and pretend to be single and the other part that tells me I should wait for my wife. Somehow I think I got to figure out the middle ground.
