I could just tell that she was upset about something. She broke down in tears and started telling me about how close they were when you first got here. How she fell for him almost instantly. She said that she tried to keep her feelings to herself but he noticed them too. One thing led to another and…”

“STOP!” I scream, tears running down my face. I turn to Marshall.

“How many times did this happen?” I ask him.

“Zero times, Adrienne! I swear to you this never happened.”

“Jesus, were you thinking about her last night when you were fucking me?” Both Marshall and Owen flinch as my words fly out of my mouth.

“What? NO! Of course not!” Marshall screams.

“Where is she now?” I ask Owen.

“I don’t know. Like I said, she left this morning. She hasn’t come back.”

“You guys were always talking to one another about me. You guys would look at one another awkwardly sometimes, when I was in the room too. Is this why?”

“This is bullshit, I’m calling her right now, and she can clear everything up.” Marshall says taking out his cell phone.
