infidelity / 79

"Can we just clear something up? Now that we're certain we're not breaking up and we both know we both love each other?"

"Okay?"

"Why do you think I'm going to cheat on you?"

"..."

"Nuh-nuh-no, we're being honest. No politeness, no hiding. Out with it, Katherine."

"I guess I just started comparing myself to her, Collins, and I just felt young and... I don't know. I can't explain it."

"Well... I don't think you're going to cheat on me."

"Yeah, but you're the one who left, it's different."

"Why?"

"It just is. If you choose to leave... it feels like you might, possibly, someday actually leave?"

"I don't understand. I mean, I didn't want to leave you."

"But you did, and I understand, I really do; however, I can't, like, just stop a feeling."

"Kat, I don't even look at other girls. It doesn't even cross my mind."

"Ever?"

"Ever."

"Have you ever cheated on someone else?"

"Oh, God, I thought we weren't ever going to talk about those days again."

"Just this once."

"Okay, okay stop poking me with your feet. While I made my way around the coeds quite frequently, I never cheated while being official with anyone."

"Never, ever."

"Kat."

"Okay, I believe you."

"Do you believe I won't cheat on you?"

"It's hard. I never felt like this before..."

"Before I left."

"Yeah."

"I'm sorry that I made you lose your trust in me."

"Don't apologize."

"I'll earn it back. I promise."
