“Everyone has been laughing and joking all day, and you’ve been a stone toad.”
“It’s nothing. I’m just off.”
“Getting cold feet?”
“No.”
“Then are you cheating?”
“I’ve told you to stop psychoanalyzing me.”
“Because if you are cheating, best friend or not, I’ll be forced to rip you to shreds.”
“I’m not, but someone told me Carmen may be cheating on me.”
“Well, pay someone to look into that, and when they’re wrong, count your blessings and keep it moving.”
“You don’t think she is?”
“I don’t know her well enough to say.” He shrugged. “Do you think so?”
“No.”
“Perfect. Listen to your gut, but still get it investigated to be sure. In the meantime, can you smile and behave like you’re excited about marrying her for the rest of this session today?”
“Okay.”
He headed toward the door, but then he slowly turned around.
“Who’s the ‘someone?’”
“Huh?”
“Who is the someone who told you about Carmen?”
“Dahlia.” I paused. “It’s probably jealousy and last-minute sabotage, right?”
He stared at me.
“Tell me she’s trying to ruin my life all over again because she realizes she messed up the best relationship she’s ever had in her life.”
He shoved his hands into his pockets.
“She cheated on me before, and now she sees how silly that was and she’s trying to sow doubt into my relationship with Carmen.”
Silence.
“Why are you so quiet now?” I asked. “Say something.”
“I do know Dahlia,” he said. “Almost as well as you do. She’s a lot of things, but we both know she’s never been a liar.”
“What about a cheater?”
“I’ve told you time and time again that I never believe she actually cheated on you.”
“No, really. Whose side are you on, Leo?”
“What the hell do you want me to say?” he asked.“Let’s stalk the hell out of Carmen and see for ourselves?”
