"I. Had sex. With. Thomas. Stanley. Holland." Phoenix spoke slowly before plopping back down on the couch. She watched as Benoit stood up and sauntered to the front door, taking the camera with him. She was grateful he had the sense to leave when he did because she had a feeling things were about to get a lot worse.

"You've never had sex with Tom." Chris shook his head. "If you did, you would've told me."

"EXACTLY MY POINT!" Phoenix countered. "I would've told you yet you didn't tell me about Lizzie for some reason..."

"Because it didn't matter."

"And why would it have mattered if I slept with Tom?" She questioned.

"Because-" He stopped himself. "I don't know."

"How long were you planning on hiding this from me?! Would you have even told me if Benoit didn't push you to an answer?!"

"I wasn't hiding it necessarily. It never came up."

"It never came up?" Phoenix laughed sarcastically. "Okay Christopher."

"I don't know what I'm supposed to say, Phoenix! It happened in 2015... 4 entire years ago."

"You're not supposed to say anything but you could at least acknowledge the fact that not telling me was wrong..."

"We both agreed years ago that there wasn't a need to disclose our entire sexual history to one another. Our STD tests came back clean and that's all that matters."

"Okay but I also haven't fucked anybody you know personally and I damn sure never fucked any of your friends." She snapped. "If I had, I would've disclosed that to you right away."

"I see..." Chris trailed off. He didn't quite understand what the big deal was. He met Lizzie long before he even knew Phoenix existed and it wasn't like they were ever in a relationship. They spent a few nights together 4 years prior and forgot about the entire thing. Why would Phoenix need to know about something so insignificant just because she was now friends with Elizabeth? "I'm sorry but I just don't get why you're upset over some drunken nights that occurred years before we even met."

"I'm not mad you fucked Elizabeth before we met. That's not what this is about." Phoenix rolled her eyes. "It's about the fact that neither one of you said shit about it. You both had me looking mad stupid especially since everyone else knew, I'm assuming."

"Everybody but Tom and Mark." Chris joked. "The secret would've been out YEARS ago had they known."

"I'm glad to see this is all a joke to you."

"It's not." He sighed. "I've slept with a lot of women. Am I supposed to apologize about them too?"

Phoenix took a deep breath as she came to the realization that she didn't feel for Chris now what she did 2 years ago, hell even 6 months ago. The way he was acting in that very moment gave her an instant migraine and definitely wasn't a characteristic of the man she fell in love with: the kind, compassionate, sweet, and considerate sweater wearing dork she wanted to spend her life with.

"I can't do this anymore."

Chris looked up at his girlfriend with a confused expression to find she was staring at the floor. He took a seat directly next to her without looking away from her face. "What?"
