His other woman
Oh, I know she’s trying not to laugh at my suffering.
Some friend she is—she should be mourning for me, not choking back giggles.
"Well… he’s chubby, but not fat," Mom says delicately. "And he’s an accountant—"
She leans in, her voice dropping to a whisper like she’s about to reveal top-secret government intel.
"And his mom said he’s never had sex!"
She beams at me like she just told me I won the lottery.
"WHAT?!" I screech, launching up from the couch—only for my injured ankle to betray me, forcing me right back down.
