Love, Rosie (94 page)

I’m
serious,
the
guy
cheated
on
her.
He’s
all
wrong
for
her.

Yeah
but
the
difference
between
now
and
before
is
that
now
Rosie

knows
he
cheated
on
her.
She
knows
he’s
an
asshole.
But
she’s
still

with
him.
She
must
really
love
him
Alex.
I’d
say
back
off.
Just
my

opinion
but
I’d
say
back
off.

Alex:

Phil:

I
don’t
agree
with
that
Phil.

Fine!
You’re
your
own
man,
do
as
you
wish.
I
know
you
want
the

best
for
Rosie
but
you’re
being
a
bit
selfish
here.
Look
at
it
from

Rosie’s
perspective.
She’s
just
found
out
that
her
asshole
husband

cheated
on
her,
it
must
have
been
hard,
and
for
whatever
reason
she

has
decided
to
work
it
out
and
stay
with
him.
Then
just
as
she’s
get-

ting
used
to
that
idea,
in
waltzes
you,
the
best
friend
in
shining

armor,
proclaiming
your
love
for
her.
Do
you
want
to
confuse
the

poor
woman
even
more?
Look,
if
the
marriage
is
a
disaster,
then
it’s

a
disaster
and
in
a
few
months
it’ll
end
and
Rosie
will
come
to
you.

Just
don’t
be
the
prick
that
tries
to
break
up
her
marriage.
She’ll

never
forgive
you
for
that.

Alex:

Phil:

Alex:

Phil:

So
you
think
I
should
let
it
happen
naturally.
Let
her
come
to
me

when
she’s
ready?

Something
like
that.
I’m
thinking
of
starting
one
of
those
shows
that

they
have
on
telly.
You
know
one
of
those
advice
ones?

You’d
have
me
on
it
every
week
Phil.
Thanks.

No
probs,
now
while
you
go
give
someone
a
new
heart,
I’ll
go
give
a

car
a
new
engine.
Off
with
you.
Do
what
you
have
to
do.

Letter?

Alex
I
searched
high
and
low
in
the
kitchen
for
your
letter,
I
left
no
stone

unturned
and
Greg
and
Katie
swear
they
didn’t
lay
a
finger
on
it
so
I
don’t

know
where
else
it
could
be.
Are
you
sure
you
left
it
there?
We
were
in
such

a
rush
to
get
you
to
the
airport
that
morning,
maybe
you
forgot.
I
checked

the
spare
room
you
were
sleeping
in.
All
I
found
was
a
T-shirt
you
left

behind,
but
it’s
mine
now
so
you’re
not
getting
it
back!

So
what
was
in
the
letter?
You
didn’t
call
me
when
I
got
home
from

work
yesterday.
You’re
really
keeping
me
in
suspense,
Alex!
