"So, who do you love, her or me?" shouted Teagan, trying to ignore the tears in her reddened eyes.
"I don't...it's...both of you," he replied quietly.
"Both?!" she snapped back.
"It's not...I don't know..."
"Don't know! How can you not know?"
"It's complicated," he replied, turning to face the living room window.
Teagan just stared at him while he looked both nervous and extremely ill-at-ease. He briefly glanced in her general direction, avoiding eye contact and then returned his gaze to the street outside.
"You really don't know if you love me?" she pushed, more quietly now.
"Of course, I love you," he replied without hesitation, "But I think I love her too."
"That's the wrong answer, Keith. You know that?"
"It's not the best," he conceded, dropping his gaze to the varnished floorboards. He seemed to be desperate to look at anything except her.
"Oh no. There's a right answer and everything else is a wrong answer. Your answer is not the right one."
"But I do love you."
"I'm not sharing you, Keith. Either we're a couple or it's over. She is NOT part of this relationship," she said, beginning to lose her temper again.
"Okay, I'll tell her it's over."
"You know what? Forget it. I can't trust you any more."
"What?"
"You slept with her. That was a choice, a choice you made knowing full well it was wrong. You just can't do that by mistake! I don't see we can get that trust back."
"But we..."
"No. It's over. Trust is everything in a relationship and, Keith, I don't trust you any more. I don't think I ever can."
