Wade:

I quit.

Me:

Sleep on it.

Wade:

Decision made.

Me:

Don’t throw it all away. Don’t let them get to you. Marcus is your father. You’ll get used to that soon. It took me a while to get used to the news Miranda gave birth to me.

Wade:

I don’t think I’ll ever learn to live with Zane being my brother.

Me:

He slept with Miranda. It’s kinda funny.

Wade:

I’m not laughing.

Me:

If it had happened to anyone else, you’d be laughing.

Wade:

Ok, I’ll give you that.

Me:

Promise me you’ll come home.

Wade:

I will. I just don’t know when.

Me:

I need you here. I’m kinda freaking out.

Wade:

Don’t freak out. Stay low. Don’t speak to anyone. Rest, because you work too hard, and promise me you’ll be there when I finally sort all this shit out in my head and return.

Me:

I promise. I’m not going anywhere.

Wade:

Get to bed. It’s been a long day. We’ll speak tomorrow.
